Another possibility is that only a portion of one molecule is transferred to the other molecule. This type of reaction occurs, for example, in redox and acid-base reactions. In redox reactions, the transferred particle is an electron, whereas in acid-base reactions it is a proton.
Psychology is the study of mind and behavior. It is an academic discipline and an applied science which seeks to understand individuals and groups by establishing general principles and researching specific cases.
Watson described the purpose of psychology as: âTo predict, given the stimulus, what reaction will take place; or, given the reaction, state what the situation or stimulus is that has caused the reactionâ (1930, p. 11). * All behavior is learnt from the environment.
