The 20th Century has been called the century of psychology' by one historian of psychology. From a handful of scientists working in a small number of laboratories at the turn of the century, psychologists can now be found in an increasing range of areas of society such as education, work, sports and leisure, mental health, the law, and counselling.
Psychology studies our experience of the world as individuals and our experience of each other.
Social psychology examines what we think of ourselves and other people, why we are aggressive or altruistic, how we develop and change our attitudes and how others in general affect our feelings, thoughts and behaviours. Lincoln offers a range of psychology subjects which are available to all students.
