Abstract
People all over the world discuss, interact to understand one another and how they influence what others do, say, think, desire, feel, etc. Many professionals in various fields especially story writers, actors and historians have done a lot to exhibit how people act, their gestures, overtures, tone of voice. The bottom line of what these professionals want to understand, exhibit, discuss or influence is behavior of people. According to Nwachukwu (1992) creatures that breathe do a variety of actions and these actions form the subject matter of psychology. Defining psychology is a problem, since there is no single definition that has been accepted by all psychologists especially at the earlier period of its evolution as a scientific discipline in the family of social sciences. The earliest definition of psychology was that it is the science of soul or mind and it is Blancard (1693) who conceptualized it as such. Along with Blancard, Acquinas in Oniel (1974) defines the word psychology as the study of the soul or human nature. Soul means a person’s inner character containing their true thoughts and feelings, sensations, urges and the principles underlying the phenomena of this mental and spiritual life.
