Typical questions in psychology

Psychologists generally investigate human behavior and perceptions. Their questions range widely across the different specializations that make up the field, such as animal cognition, personality, social interactions, and infant development, to name a few. The following are questions that specialists in psychology might ask:

• What personality characteristics might affect employees’ personal use of work computers?
• What is the impact on adult learners’ families and working lives when they return to school?
• Do variations in cerebral blood flow in different areas of the brain predict variations in performance of different imagery tasks?
