What the college says
Psychology gives us explanations for why we think, feel and behave the way we do. Psychology is interested in explaining individual behaviour such as what makes you different and similar to other individuals and explaining how you interact with others. Ultimately we want to provide explanations for our behaviour, but because psychology is a science we back up our explanations with evidence.
