Are you curious about what makes people tick? Do you want to better understand the connection between your thoughts, feelings, and behavior? In this class, we will discover the power of the mind and unlock the mysteries of human behavior.

Psychology is the scientific study of the mind and behavior. It explores how people think and why they do the things they do.

The topics we will cover in class are relevant to your life – right now! Some of these exciting topics are: learning and memory, brain function, sleep and dreams, perception, personality, emotions, and social relationships. Applying the research that we learn about in class has the potential to impact your life now and for years to come. For example, you can work to develop a mindset for successful learning and studying, learn to better cope with and manage stress, and learn to more effectively communicate with others. In addition, students will engage in mindfulness for a few minutes everyday, which can have a positive impact on mental well-being and stress regulation.

Psychology isn’t just based on common sense and good ideas. Instead, its foundation is real scientific research. Thus, we will dig deep into research – covering the scientific method, research methods and ethics in psychology, and how to read and evaluate research findings. As a result, your critical thinking skills will be strengthened.

If you want to not only better understand the human mind and behavior, but also make real-world applications by implementing psychological principles in everyday life, then join us in Psychology!
