What is the primary focus of psychology?

Consciousness
Emotions
Behavior
Mental illness

The correct answer is: Behavior

Psychology is the study of human behavior and mental processes. While the other options may have some relevance within psychology, they are not the primary focus. For example, consciousness is often studied in relation to behavior and emotions, but it is not the primary focus. Emotions may be studied as a part of behavior, but behavior as a whole is the primary focus. Mental illness is a specific aspect of behavior, but it is not the overall focus of psychology.
