What is Psychology? | Episode 1

In Episode 1 of the Podcast, we will lay the groundwork for all future episodes. We will touch on the origins not only of the word psychology but also of the discipline itself and how it developed into an independent science. We will have a look on the four goals and the seven perspectives on psychology and then I will explain what psychologists actually do and how the field of psychology distinguishes itself from other sciences and disciplines. At the end of the episode, I will talk a bit about the WEIRD bias.
