Psychology is a discipline that aims to analyze the mental and behavioral processes of human beings and their interactions with the physical and social environment. According to the Austrian psychologist H. Rohracher, psychology is the science that studies or investigates conscious processes and states, as well as their origins and effects. Within psychology, at least two approaches are possible and justifiable: that of the natural sciences, which seeks a causal explanation, and that of the philosophical sciences, which seeks an explanation of meaning and sense.

What is it?

Philosophers of antiquity such as Socrates, Plato and Aristotle were precursors of psychology, while they reflected on the human soul and its way of relating to the world. Naturalistically oriented psychology had its heyday in the 19th century. He was associated with the sensory physiology of J. Müller and H. Helmholtz, and the invention of psychophysical methods of measurement by EH Weber and G. Th. Fechner. In 1879 experimental psychology arose in Germany with Wundt, who founded the first experimental psychology laboratory. It was from there that the separation between philosophy and psychology took place. Psychology soon expanded through the investigation of thought, will, conditioned reflexes (Pavlov), the introduction of factor analysis (Ch. Spearman) and, finally, the measurement of intelligence (A. Binet).

Origin

As a science and as a field of study, psychology is constantly evolving. New areas of research are being explored and decades-old beliefs are being challenged as new information comes to light. Depending on the desired role, students who want to become mental health professionals and be part of the exciting future of psychology sometimes need a graduate degree, as well as certifications. But the first step to pursuing a rewarding psychology career is often by earning a bachelor's degree in the psychology field. As aspiring mental health professionals pursue their bachelor's degree in psychology, it is crucial that they stay abreast of the latest trends and developments shaping this field and the future of the mind, including booming new topics in the sciences. social issues, the increasing complexity of human diversity, and innovative new tools reshaping psychological research.

Future of Psychology:

In the future, psychology will likely continue to show us just how related nutrition is to the way we think and feel. Researchers are showing that the foods and vitamins we eat can have a huge impact, both positive and negative, on our state of mind.

Many psychological studies involve surveying members of a certain population or group. According to an article in Behavior Research and Therapy, digital technology has made this task easier for researchers by improving the way assessment questionnaires are delivered and interpreted, which, "until recently, have largely been in paper format." pencil and paper and are graded manually”, article notes.

As psychology has evolved over the decades, scientists, researchers, and healthcare professionals have used new digital tools to deliver more effective care and treatment to patients and populations. Digital tools can affect the future study of the mind and its understanding within the field of psychology by providing mental health professionals and researchers with new avenues and capabilities to conduct and find research. These tools can help boost your science and improve people's lives.

Incorporate the above practices into the study plans of undergraduate and master's degree students in Psychology. The objective is that they know and become familiar from the beginning with the implementation of pre-registration and open science in their research, as well as replication studies.

02

Include open science practices, in which all aspects of the research are made accessible to all with the benefits that this entails: open publications have more citations, dissemination and a higher impact factor. This also implies sharing the data obtained throughout the study that is carried out, so that other researchers can have access to them.

01

Establish pre-registrations and registered reports in the investigation process. This practice includes recording the study design and hypotheses prior to data collection. These documents are sent to the journals for peer review and necessary changes to improve the quality of the work. By agreeing to do the analysis, the outlet agrees to publish the results and the researcher can focus on doing their job as efficiently as possible, excluding questionable exercises.

Research in psychology had been focusing attention on current aspects such as the psychological consequences of the abuse of new technologies, stress, cyberbullying or the effects of excessive exposure to obesogenic diets. Now we must add the factors directly associated with the COVID-19 pandemic. Due to these circumstances, research work in areas relevant to the mental health of the population has increased in recent years. This has led to an exponential increase in published results which, to a certain extent, has also generated some problems.

And the stress situation associated with both factors (chronic for a large number of people), we are beginning to see a scenario in which a multitude of new challenges are posed, particularly in the field of mental health. From now on, the scope and consequences that this health emergency is having and will have on the population, both physically and psychologically, will begin to be determined
