Psychology is an ancient and young science. Although China's psychology started late, with the rapid development of China's economy and increasingly fierce social competition, the growth and prosperity of psychology is an inevitable trend. Learning psychology will have a broad space for development. This paper introduces various courses of psychology to students majoring in psychology in Kaineng School, and provides some basic learning methods, hoping to bring inspiration and help to students. As far as the content of specialized courses is concerned: 1. General psychology summarizes the research results of psychology and introduces the most common psychological phenomena and the most general laws of psychological activities. It is a basic theoretical course for psychology majors and the basis for learning other psychology courses. 2. Social psychology is a branch of psychology, which studies the social psychology and social behavior of individuals and groups and their laws; 3.

Through the study of Experimental Psychology, self-taught students can initially understand the basic knowledge and skills of designing experimental methods for research topics; 4. Psychostatistics introduces the statistical processing method of psychological experiment results; 5.

Organizational management psychology studies the process of managing an organization, including planning, guiding, encouraging and controlling the organization, that is, providing correct management principles and effective management methods for the organization. We must learn the basic theoretical courses of psychology well, because they are the basis for further study. Especially "General Psychology" is the foundation of the foundation. After learning General Psychology, take other courses, step by step, and constantly improve. Social Psychology is easy to understand, and it also lets us know that psychological phenomena are restricted by society, so we can learn it first. "Experimental psychology" and "psychological measurement" need more knowledge as the basis, so they should be studied in the later stage. Psychostatistics should be studied before these two courses, because the statistical processing method of experimental results it talks about should be applied in these two courses. Without statistical knowledge, experimental psychology and psychometrics are difficult to understand. As for other specialized courses of psychology, whether it is basic theory or applied psychology, there is no strict relationship in content and there is not much difference in difficulty. When arranging the study, it is enough to match the difficult basic theory courses with the difficulty, so that the burden will be even in each exam. As far as the contents of undergraduate courses are concerned: 1. Physiological psychology tells about the structure and function of nervous system, so that self-taught students can understand the physiological basis of psychological activities; 2. The history of psychology introduces the general situation of the emergence and development of psychological thoughts, as well as the basic viewpoints of various psychological factions since modern times, so as to help self-taught students establish correct psychological theoretical viewpoints; 3. Psychological experiment design focuses on cultivating students' ability to solve practical problems by scientific methods; 4. Cognitive psychology is a new direction of psychological research in the past half century. It systematically discusses the cognitive process of human beings and combines psychology with modern science and technology, which has become an important part of current cognitive science. In learning, Cognitive Psychology is very helpful for self-taught students to understand the new progress of psychology and learn and master the scientific methods of studying psychological phenomena. 5. Abnormal psychology studies the causes and laws of the occurrence, development and change of abnormal psychological phenomena and behavior activities, and provides scientific basis for correctly understanding normal psychological activities. Abnormal psychology is the necessary knowledge base for psychological counseling and psychotherapy, effective treatment and prevention of psychological abnormalities; 6. Psychotherapy introduces the principles and methods of counseling and treatment of psychological disorders, which has strong operability and is the basic knowledge and skills that people engaged in psychological counseling and psychotherapy must master; 7. In the fierce market competition, if an organization wants to win, it must first obtain high-quality and first-class talents. Therefore, it is necessary for managers to identify talents objectively, reliably and effectively and mobilize employees to achieve organizational goals. Human resource management and personnel evaluation provide scientific principles and methods for managers. 8. Market survey is a method for enterprises and institutions to collect information, analyze the market and provide decision-making basis. The course Market Research introduces the theory, design method and practical application steps of market research, which has strong operability and practical significance. 9. Consumer and Advertising Psychology introduces the psychological and social factors that affect consumer behavior, discusses people's consumer behavior in theory and practice, and introduces the application of consumer psychology theory in practice, including advertising.

It will play an important role in improving people's cognitive efficiency, improving man-machine system design and working environment. 1 1. Environmental psychology studies the relationship between human behavior and the environment. For environmental planning, eliminate the influence of tense environment such as pollution and noise, and the influence of special environment such as acceleration, overload, low pressure, weightlessness, high temperature and high altitude on people. Self-taught students who graduated from the School of Psychology can study undergraduate courses in no particular order, but the basic theory course is more difficult and the applied course is easier to understand. The two should be studied together, and the burden should be even. Self-taught candidates who have graduated from non-psychology majors will study undergraduate courses after taking several basic theory courses in the junior college, otherwise it will bring difficulties to undergraduate study. According to the professional examination plan, college graduates majoring in education, medicine, sociology and political science need to take three courses: general psychology, social psychology and experimental psychology. In addition to these three courses, graduates of other majors have to take two courses: psychostatistics and psychometrics. Only after passing all the written courses and practical examinations (including graduation thesis) stipulated in the professional examination plan can you obtain the undergraduate diploma. Those who have excellent graduation thesis results and passed it at one time can apply for a bachelor's degree. Adult on-the-job study is more difficult than full-time students, and it is easy to be distracted from work and housework, so it is difficult to guarantee the study time. If you want to study well, you must have stronger determination and stronger will. Learning arrangements should be reasonable and learning methods should be improved. Higher education pays more attention to understanding than rote learning on the basis of understanding, which is impossible. Reciting is for accurate understanding and skillful use, not rote learning.
