Department of Psychology
If you are curious about why people behave the way they do, consider studying psychology—the science of mind and behavior. Among the questions that psychologists study are:
- Why are some people willing to help strangers, while others aren’t?
- Can training help us learn more from our classes?
- Do men and women differ in what they look for in a potential mate?
- Do docile babies grow up to be easy-going adults?
