Psychology studies some of humanity’s most enduring questions with one of humanity’s most powerful tools: science. By exploring how we function – and why we don’t always function well – this field offers profound insights into the mental processes, emotions, and interactions that come to define us. This knowledge allows us to improve the human condition at both the individual and societal levels.
