Psychology - Contexts of Behaviour (2nd Edition) The study of psychology involves three things: acquiring a specialized knowledge base about behavior, learning to think critically about behaviour, and developing attitudes and motivations consistent with the science of psychology. As a scientific enterprise, psychology sytematically explores behavior, generating principles to explain behavior. The changes in this new edition include a fine tuning of the sociocultural approach, and the addition of critical thinking as a major theme.
