What is PSYCHOLOGY?
Psychology is the science of mind and behavior. Psychologists study
thoughts, brain function, behaviors, emotions, personality, and human
development, and take into account all the different aspects of being a person,
says Adam Borland, PsyD, a clinical psychologist at Cleveland Clinic in Ohio.
Basically, psychology supports people in large part because it can explain
why people act the way they do. With this kind of professional insight, a
psychologist can help people improve their decision making, stress
management and behavior based on understanding past behavior to better
guess future behavior. All of this can help people have a more successful
career, healthier relationships, more self-confidence and have better
communication.
SCOPES OF PSYCHOLOGY
1. Organizational Psychology
Industrial-organizational psychology (also called I/O
psychology) is distinguished by the scientific study of human
behavior in organizations and the work place. This specialty
concentrates on acquiring principles of individual, group and
organizational behavior and applying this knowledge to the
solution of problems at work.
Specialized knowledge and training in the science of
behavior in the workplace involves in-depth
knowledge of organizational development, attitudes,
career development, decision theory, human
performance and human factors, consumer behavior,
small group theory and process, criterion theory and
development, job and task analysis and individual
assessment. In addition, the specialty of industrial-
organizational psychology needs knowledge of ethical
considerations as well as statutory, administrative,
and case law and executive orders as related to
activities in the workplace.
Importance of Organizational Psychology
It is significant to the employees as this aims to improve the
quality of life and work conditions to achieve greater
performance and boost company efficiency. This scope of
psychology also focuses on understanding the preferences of
each employee, convey topical issues, and propose
preventive and curative measures and programs to be applied
by the higher management. In addition, they can work with
executives to improve soft skills to better communicate with
their team members. The overall goal of the organizational
psychologist is to empower each and every person in the
company and to encourage them to have healthy personal and
work lives, as well as strengthen relationships within the
company.
2. Social Psychology
Social psychology helps us understand other people,
ourselves, and the world around us. It can be defined
as the study of social interactions and how those
interactions impact an individual ideas, behaviors,
and emotions.
Social psychology is an area of psychology and is extremely
useful in understanding a large array of ideas. There may be
times when you're studying a social psychology concept and
have thought that feel familiar - you know you've never studied
it because a lot of the main ideas are already familiar, so almost
everything makes sense. Social psychology uses scientific
principles and methods to help you understand why things
happen in your daily life.
Importance of Social Psychology
Social psychology helps people manage
their stress, depression and other social
issues and improve their decisions making
and predict accurate future behavior.
3. Clinical Psychology
The field of Clinical Psychology integrates science, theory,
and practice to understand, predict, and alleviate
maladjustment, and personal development. It focuses on the
intellectual, emotional, biological, psychological, social, and
behavioral aspect of human functioning across the lifespan,
in varying cultures, and all economic levels.
Clinical psychology is the psychological
specialty that provided continuing and
comprehensive mental and behavioral
healthcare for individuals and families;
consultation to agencies and communities;
training, education and supervision; and
research-based practice.
Importance of Clinical Psychology
Psychologist who provide clinical or counseling services
assess and treat mental, emotional and behavioral disorders.
Some of the disorders are depression, extreme sadness,
discouragement, loss of appetite, and severe anxiety. If any
stated disorder persists for a long period of time, it increases
the chance of risky behaviors such as drug or alcohol
addiction. It can also ruin relationships, cause problems at
work, and make it difficult to overcome serious illnesses.
Furthermore, this scope of psychology helps you to understand
yourself better, improve your understanding of others, develop
critical thinking skills, and develop insights into mental
illnesses.
