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?
