    Psychology is the scientific study of the mind and behavior. It includes six major schools of thought: biological, behavioral, cognitive, social, psychoanalytic, and existential-humanistic. Key themes in psychology include personality, the unconscious mind, motivation, development, and the interplay between genes and environment. Psychologists apply their research on these topics to areas like mental health care, education, work, the military, health and social change. Research methods include experiments, statistical analysis, technology, simulation, animal studies and qualitative approaches. Contemporary issues relate to biases, ethics in research involving humans and other animals.
