Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 Psychology is the science of the mind, and it is a science because it uses scientific methods of enquiry to develop theories about how humans think and behave. It is the study of all that.

#2 Psychology is the study of the human mind and human behaviour. It is derived from the Greek word psyche, which means life or breath, and the Greek word logia, which means the study of something.

#3 The nature–nurture debate is the main underlying debate in psychology. It states that our behavior, attitudes, and traits are determined by inherited traits, but that they are also shaped by experience.

#4 There are many different perspectives on psychology, and each one is underpinned by a shared set of assumptions about what is important to study and how to study it. Some psychologists conduct detailed biological studies of the brain using a variety of contemporary tools and techniques, while others explore how we process information.
