Aims of Psychology



Psychology is the positive science of behaviour. It aims at the study of the behaviour, their collection, clarification and comparison and finds out general hypotheses based upon them. Thus the aim of psychology is the study or mart's behaviour Behaviour not only includes the overt activities, but also the inner processes. Thus psychology studies man's physical as well as mental activities. 
            The aim of psychology is not only theoretical but also practical, though the theoretical and the practical works have been specialised by different branches of psychology in different fields. Thus, whereas the theoretical studies aim at finding out general laws regarding behaviour in their own field, the applied psychology aims at finding out the applications of these general laws. Thus psychology not only adds to our knowledge of human nature, but also makes life worth living. Not only does it aim at studying the personality of man, but it also aims at making it more balanced and adjusted.
