psychological studies
Mental behavior investigations
Psychological studies are research investigations examining mental processes, behavior, and emotional functioning.
The term often appears in media coverage of findings about human nature: Psychological studies show that people underestimate how much others enjoy conversation.
In academic contexts, it refers to the formal experiments, surveys, and observations that comprise the empirical basis of psychology as a discipline.
