Before I read anything I said that psychology had to deal with the mind and the way people thing and after reading a little bit about psychology I think it is really the science or study of behavior and mental processes of the brain. Which I think is almost the same thing.
Psychology affects everything we do in our life from how we act to what we eat and wear. People learn how to act the way they do by watching other people around them and copy what they do and wear. We subconsciously think of what we can do to make ourselves fit in with the others around us.
Something I found interesting in this section was the study of playing peek-a-boo with babies. How babies think you actually disappear when you hide and think you reappear later on. The real concept is really quite interesting to me.
Another topic I found interesting was the nature-nurture issue, which goes into the debate of whether or not traits are developed through experience or if people are born with them. I think that people are both born with traits and learn traits from watching people. Mostly because if you take a child and put it with a different family I think that you would see traits in the child from both parents and the people that he or she lived with.
