When I encounter the word psychology, the word that pops into my head is
Understanding. Psychology for me is the science that deals with explaining and understanding. It
is the science that gives words to the behavior we cannot comprehend. The science that gives us
the understanding why people act the way they are. Psychology, basically, is the tool that cracks
messages hidden behind our thoughts, dreams, perception, behavior, and emotions.
Since Psychology is the science that deals with understanding or explaining mental
processes and behavior. It basically serves as a portal to us into deeper understanding ourselves
and the thoughts that lie in our minds. Psychology allows us to determine what the problem is
and how to address it, especially in reaching out to people who are experiencing mental health
issues.
For me, learning and knowing about psychology is vital in any field of work. In a workplace,
there are people you are obliged to work with, whether you find them easy to cope with or not, in
this matter alone comes the importance of Psychology. Psychology is essential because it gives
us a tighter grasp into understanding our colleagues and through that understanding, we discover
the ways on how we should react and socialize with each other.
3. What do you think of psychology before the discussion? And what do you think of
psychology after the discussion?
Among the branches of psychology discussed, the three branches that interest me the
most are:
Dynamic/ Personality Psychology
- This branch of psychology deals with understanding the personality and its variation among
individuals. I find it interesting because through this we are able to comprehend our thoughts,
feelings, and behavior and how these influences the way see and react to things.
Social Psychology
- This branch of psychology interests me since it deals on how the society affects us. As
millennials, we are easily influenced by the society we lived in, whether it may be the latest trend
or challenge. So, for me, it is interesting to know how groups or other people influence us.
Forensic/Legal Psychology
- Forensic psychology involves the understanding of fundamental legal principles, particularly
with the regard to the witnesss testimony and the specific area of concern. Being able to watch
series that involves law and order such as how to get away with murder, it became interesting for
me to know how one is mentally ill just basing on their actions, their history and how they
answer the questions of the court.
