Psychological factors refer to the various mental and emotional aspects that can influence an individual's behavior, thoughts, and feelings. This research area focuses on understanding how psychological factors such as personality traits, cognitive processes, emotions, attitudes, and motivations impact an individual's overall well-being and functioning. Researchers explore how these factors interact with each other and with external influences to shape a person's mental health, decision-making, and relationships. Additionally, psychological factors are often studied in the context of various psychological disorders, such as depression, anxiety, and PTSD, to better understand their causes and develop effective interventions.
