We all use the principles of psychology everyday and probably don’t even realize it. When we punish our child for doing something wrong, we are utilizing the learning principle of punishment. When we get nervous right before we have to give that big speech, we are activating our autonomic nervous system. When we talk to ourselves in our heads, telling ourselves to “calm down,” “work harder,” or “give up,” we are utilizing cognitive approaches to change our behaviors and emotions.

This text is designed to give you a general idea of what psychology is, how information is developed, what we have learned about ourselves, and how psychology is applied to help improve people’s lives. The chapters are organized so that you can get a better idea of how psychology works; from basic theories and principles, through research, understanding and explaining results, to the actual application of psychological techniques.

This text is not designed to make you a psychologist. It is written in a general format so that you can gain a better idea of all of the major concepts in psychology. If you were to major in psychology as an undergraduate, each chapter would be a separate course. And, to get your doctorate, which is required to be called a psychologist in most states, you would take an additional five to seven years further studying the concepts in this text.

You will learn a lot, however, and hopefully you will increase not only your knowledge base, but also your interest in the principles of psychology. This website provides a great deal of information about the applications of psychology in a self-help format, as do many other very helpful and professional sites. Read on…learn…and improve your understanding of your greatest asset…the human mind.
