  6. What is psychology ‘It is a field of inquiry that is sometimes defined as the science of the mind, sometimes as the science of behaviour. It concerns itself with how and why organisms do what they do; why wolves howl at the moon and children rebel against their parents; why birds sing and moths fly into the flame; why we remember to ride a bicycle twenty years after the last try; why humans speak and make love and war. All of these are behaviours, and psychology is the science that studies them all.’ (Gleitman, 1995)

  7. The scope of Psychology ‘the phenomena that psychology takes as its province cover an enormous range. Some border on biology; others touch on social sciences such as anthropology and sociology. Some concern behaviour in animals; many others pertain to behaviours in humans. Some are about conscious experiences; others focus on what people do regardless of what they may think or feel inside. Some involve humans or animals in isolation; others concern with what they do when they are in groups.’ (Gleitman, 1995)
