PSYCHOLOGY OF EMOTIONS

Detailed explanation-1: -Once psychology was established as a discipline separate from philosophy and biology, the study of the conscious experience became one of the first topics studied by early psychologists. Structuralists used a process known as introspection to analyze and report conscious sensations, thoughts, and experiences.

Detailed explanation-2: -Sigmund Freud developed a theory of the levels of consciousness, which is still used by psychologists today, called psychoanalytic theory. Psychoanalytic theory divides consciousness into three levels: the conscious, unconscious, and preconscious.

Detailed explanation-3: -Psychological science is the study of behavior that is observable and measurable. Personality is attributable more to genes than to environmental experience. Many of our behaviors have developed as a result of our species’ adaptation to the challenges of surviving across millennia.

Detailed explanation-4: -According to the American Psychological Association, behavioral psychology (or behaviorism) is a “scientific approach that limits the study of psychology to measurable or observable behavior."
