Psychology is a broad social science that seeks to understand the physiological, emotional, and mental processes that drive and influence human behavior; it is also a profession that takes the scientific foundation of psychology and applies it to try to solve human problems. Some psychologists are scientists interested in basic questions about human behavior such as: "How do children develop a sense of morality?" "How does memory work?" "What predicts divorce?" "What makes some people happier than others?" "What treatments work best for Schizophrenia?" Others are practitioners who use the science of psychology to help individuals, families, and society by methods such as treating depression, helping couples, and families improve their relationships and conducting mental health evaluations for the courts. The best part about psychology is that every single person that takes a class can apply what they learn to their own life. Psychologists work in a variety of settings including laboratories, hospitals, courtrooms, schools and universities, community health centers, prisons, and corporate offices.
