Psychology is the study of behavior and mind , embracing all aspects of conscious and unconscious experience as well as thought . It is an academic discipline and a social science which seeks to understand individuals and groups by establishing general principles and researching specific cases . In this field , a professional or researcher is called a psychologist and can be classified as a social , behavioral , or cognitive scientist . Psychologists attempt to understand the role of mental functions in individual and social behavior , while also exploring the physiological and biological processes that underlie cognitive functions and behaviors . Psychologists explore behavior and mental processes , including perception , cognition , attention , emotion ( affect ), intelligence , phenomenology , motivation ( conation ), brain functioning , and personality . This extends to interaction between people , such as interpersonal relationships , including psychological resilience , family resilience , and other areas . Psychologists of diverse orientations also consider the unconscious mind . Psychologists employ empirical methods to infer causal and correlational relationships between psychosocial variables . In addition , or in opposition , to employing empirical and deductive methods , some  especially clinical and counseling psychologists  at times rely upon symbolic interpretation and other inductive techniques . Psychology has been described as a " hub science ", with psychological findings linking to research and perspectives from the social sciences , natural sciences , medicine , humanities , and philosophy . While psychological knowledge is often applied to the assessment and treatment of mental health problems , it is also directed towards understanding and solving problems in several spheres of human activity . By many accounts psychology ultimately aims to benefit society . The majority of psychologists are involved in some kind of therapeutic role , practicing in clinical , counseling , or school settings . Many do scientific research on a wide range of topics related to mental processes and behavior , and typically work in university psychology departments or teach in other academic settings ( e . g ., medical schools , hospitals ). Some are employed in industrial and organizational settings , or in other areas such as human development and aging , sports , health , and the ___MASK32___ , as well as in forensic investigation and other aspects of law . In academic publishing , a scientific journal is a periodical publication intended to further the progress of science , usually by reporting new research . There are thousands of scientific journals in publication , and many more have been published at various points in the past ( see list of scientific journals ). ___MASK20___ journals are highly specialized , although some of the oldest journals such as " Nature " publish articles and scientific papers across a wide range of scientific fields . Scientific journals contain articles that have been peer reviewed , in an attempt to ensure that articles meet the journal ' s standards of quality , and scientific validity . If the journal ' s editor considers the paper appropriate , at least two researchers preferably from the same field check the paper for soundness of its scientific argument , and must agree to publish it . Although scientific journals are superficially similar to professional magazines , they are actually quite different . Issues of a scientific journal are rarely read casually , as one would read a magazine . The publication of the results of research is an essential part of the scientific method . If they are describing experiments or calculations , they must supply enough details that an independent researcher could repeat the experiment or calculation to verify the results . Each such journal article becomes part of the permanent scientific record . ___MASK39___ ___MASK50___ Hall ( February 1 , 1846 -- April 24 , 1924 ) was a pioneering American psychologist and educator .

There are also some doctorates in the US , such as the Juris Doctor ( JD ), Doctor of Nursing Practice ( DNP ) and the Doctor of Medicine ( MD ), which are generally regarded internationally as professional degrees rather than doctorates , as they are not research degrees and no defense of any dissertation or thesis is performed .
