Psychology is the empirical study of behaviour. Psychologists study the biological basis of behaviour, mental functioning (referred to as cognition), development and change across the lifespan, individual differences such as personality and intelligence and the influence of social contexts on behaviour. The methods that can be used to study behaviour and the ethical considerations of such work form an important part of the training of psychologists. Psychological knowledge and theories are used to advance our understanding of health, work, education, crime, therapy and many other arenas of human activity.
