My Psychology Glossary
Hi, my name is Christa Matta and I have been studying Social Science for a year now. My glossary will be for the student that wants to become a psychologist.The psychology is not an easy subject, but it's all about the surrounding people. It's to know better why they act like a certain way or think that way. More scientifically it's the study of the body of knowledge on psychic facts, behaviors and mental processes. My glossary will be to motivate the others and let them know better the program. For that I will use reliable source on psychology and psychologists who explain their backgrounds. For the definitions, I will be using google or the dictionary to have a better explanation for words. Source: Google
