 What is psychology and
what are its goals?
 The word psychology itself is thousands of years old, coming from the ancient
Greek roots psyche, meaning “mind,” and logos, meaning “knowledge or study.”
However, have you ever actually seen or touched a “mind”? Because the mind can’t
be studied directly, psychology is now defined as the scientific study of behavior
and mental processes.

 What does “behavior” refer to in the definition of psychology? Anything you do—
eating, hanging out, sleeping, talking, or sneezing—is a behavior. So are studying,
gambling, watching television, tying your shoes, giving someone a gift, learning
Spanish, reading this book, and, yes, extreme skydiving. Naturally, we are interested
in overt behaviors (directly observable actions and responses) like these. But
psychologists also study covert behaviors. These are private mental events, such as
thinking, dreaming, and remembering ( Jackson, 2011).
What do psychologists hope to
achieve?
As scientists, our ultimate goal is to benefit humanity
(O’Neill, 2005). More specifically, the goals of psychology
are to describe, understand, predict, and control behavior.
 Description, or naming and classifying, is typically
based on making a detailed record of scientific
observations.
 Understanding usually means we can state the
causes of a behavior.
 Prediction, is the ability to forecast behavior accurately.
 However, to a psychologist, Control simply refers to the
ability to alter the conditions that affect behavior.
