The scientific study of the mind and behavior is called psychology. The study of conscious and unconscious events, such as emotions and thoughts, is included in psychology. It is a field of study that bridges the natural and social sciences and has a huge scope. Psychologists are interested in learning about the brain's emergent features, which connects psychology to neuroscience. Psychologists seek to comprehend both individual and community behavior in their roles as social scientists. Science is frequently associated with the first letter of the Greek word psyche, from whence the term psychology is derived (see below). A psychologist is a trained expert in the field or a researcher who works in it. Some psychologists can be categorized as cognitive or behavioral scientists. Some psychologists make an effort to comprehend how mental processes affect both individual and group behavior. Others investigate the physiological and neurological mechanisms behind the actions and behaviors of the brain. Research on perception, cognition, attention, emotion, intelligence, subjective experiences, motivation, brain function, and personality is conducted by psychologists. Interpersonal interactions, psychological resilience, family resilience, and other social psychology-related topics are all of interest to psychologists. They also take the unconscious mind into account. To infer causal and correlation links between psychosocial variables, research psychologists use empirical methodologies. Clinical and counseling psychologists use symbolic interpretation to some extent, but not always.
