There are psychologists who study the intricate functions of the brain, and how people think, learn, develop, and interact with others.
Some psychologists study animal behavior rather than the behavior of people.
Psychology can have a tremendous impact on society, so it makes sense to learn about what psychologists feel that they know, and how they go about doing their work. The purpose of this course is to provide the background you need to be intelligent consumers of the psychology that is around us everyday, as well as the background to continue in your study of psychology, if you so wish.
