The term psychology is derived from two Greek words ‘Psyche' meaning soul and ‘logos' meaning science or study of a subject.
Psychology is considered as a scientific discipline aimed at understanding the complexities of mental process, experiences and behaviour of individuals in different contexts.
It is treated as a natural as well as social science.
It ranges from overt actions, (anything we say or do, e.g.- going to the market or responding to question asked by the teacher), to covert activities (activities inside our brain which can be observed).
