Relation between psychology and behavioural science.

Psychology is related to other behavioural sciences

like anthropology which is the study of human
beings of different cultures, sociology is the study
of the society, so also geography, history and
economics which are the study of various aspects
of human behaviour.
.
Thus behaviour includes all activities, like that of motor
activities, i.e. walking and speaking. Cognitive activities like
perceiving, remembering and thinking and reasoning; and
emotional activities like feeling happy, angry or sad. It also
includes all our reactions and responses to the external
environment, anything that can be observed
This behavioural science is the branch of science which
helps in understanding patients as unique individuals.
This term has been used to denote the study of human
behaviour both of the individual and groups of people,
small or large.
It emphasises on individual behaviour and on the
application of such basic knowledge to medical and
allied disciplines. Thus behavioural science has become
part of the undergraduate medical education all over the
world.
Behavioural sciences have a significant effect on
the outlook and attitudes of medical students,
both through their subject matter (human
behaviour and social processes) and through their
central premize that the problems they deal with
are susceptible to the scientific investigation and
explanation.
Behavioural science can be of more direct medical relevance
also. In medical practice the nurses main concern is
individual patient. Often one encounters different responses
to pain, illness and hospitalization. The behaviour involves
any activity that can be observed, recorded and measured. It
includes anything a person or animal does that can be
observed or measured in some way.
