Psychology

Psychology. What exactly is psychology? My personal definition of psychology is a science in which it focuses on the behavior and reasons behind various behaviors of human beings. Currently, I am reading the book Psychology For Dummies by Adam Cash. One of the interesting points or sections that I read in the book was the section that simplified the metatheories concerning psychology and or human behavior. The simplification of the metathories is called The Biopsychosocial Model. The main function and/or point of the model is to show that" human behavior and mental processes are the products of biological, psychological, and social influences and how these influences interact." The book also states that if any of these three components are missing in an explanation of human behavior and mental processess then the explantion is incomplete. The book explains the role of the body, mind, people,and culture. The role of the body accepts the fact of the human exsistence. The role of the mind is the central placehold for thoughts, feelings, etc. and is "central to understanding human behavior and mental processes." The role of people is people can influence or "shape" the human mind and mental processing.
