Psychology: The Impact of Behavior on Health

Introduction

Psychology is an approach to academic and applied includes the study of scientific functions of the human mind and human behaviour. With the use of scientific method or opposition, used from time to time, depending on Psychology, also on the work of interpretation of symbolic and critical analysis, it is said that despite the fact that these methods are not used equally in the social sciences, such as sociology taught psychologists many phenomena, such as perception and knowledge and emotion and personal behaviour and interpersonal relationships. While studying other psychologists, the subconscious mind applies knowledge of mental in many different areas of humanitarian activities (Kreitler & Kreitler, 2009).

It also includes psychology research conducted in various fields of science, such as natural sciences, social sciences and humanity, and knows the student of psychology or the user on behalf of a psychologist.

Significance of the study

It is important to study psychology from different perspectives in order to understand how different beliefs, personality trait, characteristics, attitudes can influence human behaviours. Psychology is a diversified way of presenting the knowledge and findings in different topics that are centralised to psychological enquiry.

Objectives of psychology

Psychologists study people using scientific methods. The objectives are to describe, predict, understand and influence the behavior and mental processes:

Describe: the information collected through scientific research helps psychologists to describe psychological phenomena more accurately and completely.

Predict: in some cases psychologists can predict future behavior.

Understanding: understand the behavior and mental processes when we explain why they occur. Because there is always more to learn, our current explanations are always tentative. In other words, they are not true. There are theories that could be improved by future studies. Theories are tentative explanations of events and relationships in science.

Influence: Finally, psychologists expect to go beyond the description, understanding and prediction to influence behavior in a beneficial way.

Health psychology focuses on the links between physical and psychological health. It also focuses on how the disease impact on the person psychologically, how the psychological process impacts the disease or how the principle of psychology can improve the health behaviour.

Research Objectives

Research had already shown that couples' conflict can lead to increases in blood pressure, lower immunological functioning, and slower wound healing; Professors Heyman, Slep, and their group, had collected data on how family and environmental factors affect children's and adults' physical and psychological health; It wasn't a stretch to ask whether these factors would also impact oral health, yet no one had researched this question.

Discussion and Analysis

Numerous perspectives on the psychology coexist and have a different approach to the issues that are the focus of psychology. This is not to be understood that these perspectives are mutually exclusive, but complement each other much more. That is why many researchers are trying out these additions (Martindale, 2012).
