behaviorist psychology, cognitive psychology, humanistic psychology, and social psychology.

A school of psychology known as behaviorist psychology focuses its study on observable patterns of behaviour and their influence by external stimuli. It aims to explain certain behaviors and suggest ways of changing them through rewards or punishment.

This branch of psychology focuses on the mental processes within our brains, such as problem-solving, decision-making and learning. It also examines memory, perception, acquisition of language, and other cognitive functions. This area of study examines how people interpret their surroundings and how that affects their behaviors.

Humanistic psychology emphasizes the importance of personal growth and an individual’s potential for self-actualization. The humanistic approach believes each person is uniquely capable of achieving meaning or purpose through their search for direction.

Social psychology is concerned with understanding the influence that society has on people’s attitudes, values, beliefs and behaviors. It looks at the effects that peers, family members or cultural norms have on one’s social behavior as well as examining group dynamics such as conformity or cooperation within groups.
