In the field of psychology, curiosity is essential. It’s what drives us to wonder why people are the way they are, and to understand ourselves better. It’s the reason we continue to ask questions about the human experience because in essence psychology is the study of people and what makes them tick, their emotions, memories, dreams, perceptions. It’s the study of our minds and how our minds effect our behaviour.
Psychology can be life changing. It helps people to overcome challenges, strengthen relationships and improve decision making, and the future is full of questions waiting to be answered like, how can we embrace technology in the prevention of mental illness? What are the effects of social interaction on cognition? What are the psychological effects of climate change on humanity? In answering these questions, psychologist must be compassionate, bold and endlessly curious. To question the way we perceive our world and strive to improve it.
So, what’s next in psychology? Find out at RMIT.
