Introduction

What is Psychology? Psychology is the scientific study of the mind and behavior. (McLeod, 2011) “Because psychology is a science it attempts to investigate the causes in behavior using systematic and objective procedures for observation, measurement and analysis, backed-up by theoretical interpretations, generalizations, explanations, and predications” (McLeod, 2011) In this blog I will touch on some areas of Psychology and will reveal to you that they are myths! Hard to believe there are false statements when we are talking about the study of the mind and behavior, but there are a lot of myths, that most people don't even realize are myths. Mythbusting is the process of proving an idea wrong with facts or studies. It is important to debunk myths about psychology so we can understand what is true about our mind and behavior. I hope with this blog I can help debunk some important myths so you, as the reader, can gain a better understanding about Psychology and the science behind it.
