The science of behavior and the physiological and cognitive processes associated with behavior, psychology is also the profession that applies the science of behavior to practical problems. Human behavior can be understood from each of four broad theoretical perspectives: biological, cognitive, developmental and social. Psychology is an interdisciplinary scientific field that draws on theories, concepts, and methods of inquiry from neighboring natural science and social science disciplines, guided by the scientific method.
