Psychological Dimensions & Objectives

Psychological dimensions refer to the various facets of human experience and behavior, encompassing cognitive, emotional, social, and biological aspects. Cognitive dimensions include processes like perception, memory, and decision-making, which shape how individuals interpret and interact with the world. Emotional dimensions involve feelings and affective responses that influence motivation and well-being. Social dimensions address the influence of interpersonal relationships, social norms, and cultural contexts on behavior. Biological dimensions consider the role of genetics, neurobiology, and physiological processes in shaping psychological functioning.
