What is the definition of psychology?

  1. The study of the human mind

  2. The science of behavior and mental processes

  3. The study of unconscious mental processes

  4. The study of how we form mental connections

The correct answer is: The science of behavior and mental processes

Psychology is the science behind behavior and mental processes. It focuses on understanding how and why people behave and think the way they do. Option A is incorrect because it only focuses on the mind, while psychology encompasses both behavior and mental processes. Option C emphasizes only on unconscious mental processes, which is only one aspect of psychology. Option D is incorrect because psychology looks at behavior and mental processes as a whole, not just how we form mental connections.
