Psychologist
Psychologists study the human mind. They also try
to explain why people act as they do. They do
research to test their ideas about people's actions.
Research methods vary. They may get data from
lab tests, interviews, and surveys.
Psychologists usually specialize. Some help people
with mental problems. Others help people deal with
divorce and death of a family member or friend. They work with people of all ages, but
some work mainly with old people or young people.
Psychologists help people deal with problems of everyday living. Some work in schools to
help students with behavior problems. Others help solve problems in places where people
work.
Some psychologists do research at colleges and private research centers. They study
behavior using human beings and animals, such as rats and monkeys.
