This course is an engaging and accessible introduction to General Psychology, designed for students, educators, and curious learners who want to better understand human behavior and the science behind it.

You'll explore how psychologists study behavior and mental processes, how the brain influences thoughts and emotions, and how our experiences, relationships, and environments shape who we become. Along the way, you'll discover how psychological principles apply to everyday life—from learning and memory to decision-making, attraction, motivation, and personal growth.

  • The scientific methods used in psychology

  • The brain, neurons, neurotransmitters, and hormones
