Objective:
There are four basic goals of psychology:
to describe, explain, predict, and control behavior 
The purpose of psychology is to describe thinking and behavior,
look at the relationships between them and try to explain the
causes for them. A psychologist's intention is to understand,
predict and/or influence behavior.
Psychology aims to understand the various psychological affairs
which take place in what we call mind. Mind is the name given to
all the functions of brain in coordination with the environment.
Psychologists want to predict and find the primcies of behaviour
by their scientific experiments and observations and psychological
testing. They want to influence, control, change the mind of
people. They want to treat any and mental and behavioural
ailments suffered by people. 
Introduction:
Psychology is the academic and applied study of the human mind
and behavior. Perhaps there are no more salient topics in the
information age and the global economy than a comprehensive
understanding of how learning takes place and what predicts and
determines human behavior
psychology is the scientific study of the mind and
behavior.  Psychology is a multifaceted discipline and includes
many sub-fields of study such areas as human development,
sports, health, clinical, social behavior and cognitive processes.
Psychology is really a very new science, with most advances
happening over the past 150 years or so.  However, its origins
can be traced back to ancient Greece, 400 – 500 years BC.  The
emphasis was a philosophical one, with great thinkers such as
Socrates influencing Plato, who in turn influenced Aristotle.
In the early days of psychology there were two dominant
theoretical perspectives.  An American psychologist named
William James (1842-1910) developed an approach which came
to be known as functionalism.  He argued that the mind is
constantly changing and it is pointless to look for the building
blocks of experience.
Instead, focus should be on how and why an organism does
something. It was suggested that psychologists should look for
the underlying cause of behavior and the mental the processes
involved. This emphasis on the causes and consequences of
behavior has influenced contemporary psychology.
