Experimental Psychology is a fundamental subfield of psychology that examines human behavior, cognitive processes, and emotional mechanisms using scientific methods. This field goes beyond observational explanations and aims to understand how the human mind functions through controlled experimental designs and quantitative analysis. Experimental psychologists systematically examine processes such as perception, attention, learning, memory, decision-making, motivation, and social cognition in a laboratory setting.

Vision and Goal

The vision of the Mersin University Department of Psychology in Experimental Psychology is to foster an investigative educational approach that embraces the experimental method as a fundamental way of thinking in understanding human behavior. To this end, our department aims to: strengthen a research culture based on experimental methodology, encourage the active participation of students in scientific production processes, and contribute to the fundamental areas of psychology at national and international levels.
