Welcome back to another what’s up Wednesday! Today, we wanna know- what’s your favorite part of psychology? There’s the biological aspect; how the brain works. There’s the study of behavior in humans and similar species. There’s psychopathology, the important study of mental health conditions & illnesses. All have such an important part to play within psychology, but which is your favorite?
