4 Conclusion This unit has explored the social impact of psychology and provided a brief historical overview to explore the diversity of psychology as a discipline.

3.1 The beginning of the research process What distinguishes psychological research from common sense is that psychologists approach information and knowledge in a systematic and consciously articulated way.
