Detailed explanation-1: -Psychological constructs are used to understand or explain things that we believe exist but cannot see, touch, or measure in any way. Consciousness is a psychological construct because it is believed to exist, but we are unable to physically measure it, so descriptions are ‘constructed’ to explain it.
Detailed explanation-2: -In psychology, consciousness refers to your awareness of both internal stimuli, such as hunger, tiredness, and feelings, and external stimuli, such as temperature and sounds.
Detailed explanation-3: -Consciousness describes our awareness of internal and external stimuli. Awareness of internal stimuli includes feeling pain, hunger, thirst, sleepiness, and being aware of our thoughts and emotions.
Detailed explanation-4: -Consciousness allows us to plan activities and to monitor our progress toward the goals we set for ourselves. And consciousness is fundamental to our sense of morality-we believe that we have the free will to perform moral actions while avoiding immoral behaviours.
