Everyday Psychology

The human mind is a fascinating organ, we use it every second of every day, but how much do we know about it? This course is a great introduction to psychology and will take you from the fundamentals of testing intelligence, achievement and personality, to the more abstract concepts of motivation and reward. You’ll discover some of the principles and theories of psychology and through practical assessments and self-testing you’ll learn a lot more about the kind of person you are and the way you deal with different situations.

Upon completion of this course you will be awarded a Stotts Cengage Education Everyday Psychology Certificate.
