A Beginner's Psychology Glossary Hi and welcome to a glossary for psychology dummies. My name is Estelle and I have been studying Psychology for 3 semesters now. If you are a student just like me or you are interested in psychology, you have found the perfect place! I understand it's a little overwhelming seeing all the vocabulary you'll have to memorize but lucky for you, I have broken it down to 23 basic words I found in my "Actively Engaged online".

Introducing  Myse lf hi,  My name is Estelle Bergeron and I'm 19 years old. It's my fourth semester at College Ahunstic. I started in Natural Science but I realized that I didn't have the passion for this program like I saw in my classmates so I eventually changed for Social Sciences. It is now my third semester and I feel much more at home.   The human behaviour is fascinating to me and that's why I choose to pursue psychology as my major.
