The question of belonging to a university varies from school to school. General psychology will be offered in the following institutions: 1, School of Psychology; 2. School of Educational Sciences (there are many such cases); 3. School of Social Sciences. In addition, many other colleges will also offer psychology courses, such as management college, tourism college, history and politics college, medical college, etc., but the "courses" are not "majors". In short, the establishment of departments and colleges is set by colleges and universities according to their own conditions, and there is no unified regulation.
Department and major are the same concept, that is to say, if you apply for the psychology department, it means that you apply for the psychology major.
The above statement is more popular and systematic:
China's higher education is divided into three levels: discipline category, discipline category (first-class discipline) and specialty (two disciplines).
1, discipline category: * * There are 12 discipline categories, and psychology belongs to "04 pedagogy" (04 is the discipline category code).
2. First-level discipline: Psychology is a first-level discipline with code 0402.
3. Two subjects: that's the major you said. Psychology includes three majors: 04020 1 basic psychology; 040202 Development and Educational Psychology; Applied psychology. There are also specific "directions" under each major in the master's stage, and each school decides what direction to set.
What you added is just a research direction of psychology (that is, cognitive nerves), and psychology is more than that! As for suitable jobs, there are of course many. In addition to well-known psychological counseling institutions, enterprises (management, product design and promotion, etc. ), educational institutions, medical institutions, administrative, public security, judicial and scientific research institutions ... All walks of life need psychological talents. In fact, if you think about it, you should understand that as long as our life is not over, we will always be with "psychology". In this case, the scope of psychological research should be infinitely broad (even animals are the research objects of psychology).
Question 2: What is the category of psychology? I am a psychology major ~
Psychology is difficult to classify. Embarrassed subjects are classified differently in different schools, like our school is a normal major. ...
There are many majors in psychology, including criminal psychology, educational psychology, developmental psychology, cognitive psychology, decision psychology, social psychology, experimental psychology, personality psychology, psychological counseling and therapy, love psychology, human resource management psychology, gender psychology, management psychology, military psychology, behavioral psychology, abnormal psychology, medical psychology, business psychology, system psychology, color psychology, positive psychology, interpersonal psychology and tourism psychology.
So the emphasis is different, and the finishing time is different ~
So the future employment will be very different ~
Usually schools, hospitals, prisons ...
Or go to the enterprise to do personnel management or something ~
Anyway, it's complicated, there are many employment opportunities, and the employment prospects are not bad ~
Question 3: What discipline does psychology major belong to? In fact, psychology was originally separated from philosophy ~ ~ So now, the psychology of periodicals is placed under philosophy. At present, undergraduate psychology is generally placed in the school of educational science, or even better, it is an independent college of psychology ~ granting a degree of science ~ ~ postgraduate stage, and applied psychology without an independent college of psychology may be placed in different places according to the direction. For example, human resource management may be placed in the school of management, and degrees in management and clinical direction may be awarded.
Question 4: What is the major of psychology in university? Normal universities are generally in the College of Education (College of Education Science). Does self-study mean self-study or something? If you take the self-study exam, choose a school and apply for this major. If you teach yourself at home, buy some books, check the requirements of relevant university courses, and then find some related websites or forums.
Question 5: What is the major category of applied psychology? Science disciplines, major categories, first-class disciplines of psychology.
Question 6: What kind of science discipline does applied psychology belong to?
Question 7: Does psychology major belong to liberal arts or science? It's science, but for beginners, arts and sciences don't matter, because the required mathematical foundation is not very high. It is no exaggeration to say that you can learn basic mathematics after graduating from junior high school. It's just that when I first started to learn psychostatistics and experimental psychology, it was a little difficult. However, as long as you work hard, it's nothing to learn. After all, it's just a set of formulas, and nothing needs to be deduced.
Although it is a science, the basic requirements for mathematics are not high. Except psychological statistics and experimental psychology, other textbooks are basically theories. For liberal arts students, there is no problem, just theory. I have read the book twice and don't need to recite it at all.
But if you like it, you don't know what psychology is. I suggest you read the textbook when you choose a department after you get to college, so that you can know if you really like it.
Liking is very different from systematic learning. Psychology, after all, is not philosophy, and systematic learning is also very boring, and it is all theory.
In fact, it doesn't matter if you choose a major, just choose the reputation of the school, because the textbooks for undergraduate courses are basically the same. As long as the comprehensive strength of the school you go to is not bad, their psychology department is not much worse. After all, undergraduate is not a postgraduate entrance examination. Majors are particularly important when taking the postgraduate entrance examination. As for the college entrance examination, it is mainly the reputation of the school. If the school has a good reputation, then their department will not be too bad, that's for sure.
Try to prepare for the exam and get into a good school, and spindle major is the second. We'll talk about professionalism then. Many schools have this major.
Question 8: What kind of discipline does psychology belong to? Psychology is a science that studies the occurrence, development, activities and behaviors of human and animal psychological phenomena. The word psychology comes from Greek, which means the science of the soul. Soul also means qi or breathing in Greek, because ancient people thought that life depended on breathing, and when breathing stopped, life ended. With the development of science, the research object of psychology has changed from soul to mind. It was not until the beginning of19th century that Herbart, a German philosopher and educator, first proposed that psychology is a science. Psychology: it is a science that studies psychological phenomena and psychological laws, with human psychology as the main research object. Scientific psychology not only describes psychological phenomena, but more importantly explains psychological phenomena and reveals the law of their occurrence and development. The origin of psychology [edit this paragraph] Psychology is the product of biological nerve activities. The research on the origin of psychology is mainly carried out from two aspects: comparative psychology (studying the neurological function and psychological development level of various biological species) and developmental psychology (the law of the occurrence and development of human individual psychology). The emergence of animal nervous system is the material basis and necessary condition for the origin of psychology. Psychology is a science that studies the laws of human behavior and psychological activities. Before 2000, Hippocrates in ancient Greece put forward four kinds of personality (choleric, sanguine, viscous and depressive), and then Galen in ancient Greece put forward the concept of temperament, which replaced personality with temperament to form four kinds of temperament, and this classification was used in later psychological research. /kloc-before the 0/9th century, psychology belonged to philosophy. 1860, Fechner of Germany initiated psychophysics, and Ebbinghaus of Germany initiated the experimental study of memory. From 65438 to 0879, Feng Te, a German, established a psychology laboratory in Leipzig University, which marked the birth of scientific psychology. The application of empirical research method is a turning point for this discipline to become a science. /kloc-after more than 0/00 years, various schools of psychology have been in constant dispute, developed highly, and the discipline system has been further improved. Whether psychology is a social science or a natural science depends on its perspective and position, because it has its own characteristics. Basic psychology belongs to natural science and applied psychology belongs to social science. The origin of psychology, especially the generation of human advanced psychological processes, such as thinking, language, emotion, will and advanced psychological characteristics, is the product of neural basis and the process of human socialization, so we can't study this proposition from the perspective of pure biology.
Question 9: What subjects should psychology be based on? I said jokingly, never mind. "Why do I feel that the answers given by friends above are pure guesses? ! "
First of all, I am a junior majoring in psychology. I want to answer your question from the following two aspects.
First, I treat you as a senior three student. The purpose of asking this question is to consider going to college and studying psychology in the future. Then I tell you, psychology is more inclined to science, because it involves: 1, the basis of biology. Generally speaking, a course called human anatomy biology will be held in freshman year (some schools call it neuropsychology). 2, a good mathematical foundation, because psychology is a quantitative analysis of a certain behavior through some experiments, and then qualitative research. This requires knowledge of statistics and measurement, which are usually provided in the second and third grades respectively, psychostatistics and psychometrics. 3, logical thinking ability, as mentioned earlier, psychology involves a large number of experiments, which are basically carefully designed by predecessors, and you must accurately understand its connotation.
Second, I treat you as an undergraduate, and I'm going to ask the graduate students of psychology this question. Then, you must study the following subjects: general psychology (introduction to psychology), human anatomy and physiology, psychology and educational statistics, psychology and educational measurement, experimental psychology, these basic psychological disciplines. At the same time, you should also study the corresponding applied psychology according to the psychological direction you want to take the exam. Such as educational psychology, criminal psychology, clinical psychology and so on.
Finally, I tell you that learning psychology really needs a lot of extensive knowledge. For example, in psychological counseling, there is a method called rational emotional therapy, which requires you to argue with the visitor and make him understand that his behavior is irrational. Of course, you need to have a good knowledge reserve as a consultant. However, what philosophy mentioned above and so on. , it is nonsense, cheating points!
Question 10: classification of psychology in China, psychology belongs to the first-class discipline, which is generally divided into three majors: basic psychology, developmental and educational psychology and applied psychology.
Different psychologists have different classification methods and different explanations.
