The best way I can interpret psychology is by defining it. Psychology can be defined as the study of humans and animals behavioral science. According to the American Psychological Association, psychology is the scientific study of the mind and behavior (Mcleod, n.d., para. 1). However, the concept of psychology involves many areas of life such as genetics, nature, nurture, and the associations between mind and brain. Although the definition of psychology emphasizes behavior, it does not exclude the rich inner life that we all experience, it includes dreams, daydreams, and other inner experiences(Davis & Palladino, 2006, p. 3).

“Psychology is the scientific study of the mind and behavior, according to the American Psychological Association. Psychology is a multifaceted discipline and includes many sub-fields of study such areas as human development, sports, health, clinical, social behavior and cognitive processes” (Mcleod, 2019). This would be the much more formal definition of psychology, a discipline that can branch off into many different sectors. Psychology can push an individual into law enforcement or even into something as helpful as counseling. Psychology has the ability to stem into several different careers.
What psychology means to me is a discipline for the investigation of the mind. The brain, behavior, and personality can leave clues to a much larger cause that occurs in the brain. My current aspiration in psychology is to gain either my PsyD or PhD in forensic psychology. Forensic psychology to me is what I always imagined the psychology to be when I was much younger. I always thought it was the study of the brain but used in hospitals or for criminals. Although it is used in many different aspects this was the one that peaked my interest the most.
