Psychologist Glossary

PSYCHOLOGY GLOSSARY

Hello, my name is Audrey, and I am a student at Montmorency College. I am in the Social Science program. I have been studying two semesters in this program, and now it is my third semester. This program is preparing me to be a psychologist. It is important to understand some words to find out more about a specific job. With my glossary, you will learn new words, their definitions, their translations in French and how to pronounce these words. To help, you, there are some examples as well as images with their description. With my glossary, you will learn words that are related to the behaviors of the human, personality disorder and even more. I will ensure the quality of my writing by using internet dictionaries, VirtualWritingTutor.com and the online corrector. For my glossary, I used the website https://www.vocabulary.com/lists/, Lextutor and google.
