專業(yè)概況
在這里學(xué)什么?
Psychologists take as foundational the idea that behavior and mental processes can only be understood by appreciating the complex ways in which they are shaped by biological, psychological, and socio-cultural forces. As a psychology major, you will gain exposure to these different perspectives by taking courses that range from the study of neuro-chemical activity in the brain, to developmental influences on thought and behavior, to memory, attention, and learning, to social influences and group memberships that give rise to conformity with norms, prejudice, and prosocial behavior.
You will also learn the scientific principles that underlie psychology’s accumulation of knowledge across these domains. You will learn to think and problem-solve like a psychological scientist, developing skills in scientific reasoning and research methodology that will help you to appreciate the importance and efficacy of taking an evidence-based approach to understanding and addressing social, cognitive and behavioral issues across the lifespan and across various applied settings.
Psychology is often referred to as a “hub” discipline (Cacioppo, 2007) because of its many interdisciplinary links with other fields such as the natural sciences, the social sciences, the humanities, education, and public policy. Scientific contributions from psychology often inform the work being done in these fields, and psychologists regularly incorporate insights generated in other disciplines into their own work. Psychology thus stands well placed to facilitate the kinds of interdisciplinary conversations necessary to provide answers to the most pressing social and behavior issues facing modern society. Additionally, psychology’s interdisciplinary nature prepares majors not just for advanced training in psychology, but also for advanced training in related fields such as law, education, business, social work, and public policy, as well as for entry-level positions in fields such as business, human resources, public relations, and community development.
