  1. Anthropology is the scientific study of the origin, development, and varieties of human beings and their societies, particularly so-called primitive societies while psychology is the science dealing with mental phenomena and processes. Psychologists study emotions, perception, intelligence, consciousness, and the relationship between these phenomena and processes and the work of the glands and muscles. Psychologists are also interested in diseased or disordered mental states, and some psychologists provide therapy for individuals. In the United States, however, psychologists, unlike psychiatrists, are not medical doctors. (See psychiatry


  2. anthropology studies differences in physical and social characteristics between people, cultures, and socities.  Psychology studies the human mind and human beahvior.

  3. Psychology studies an individual's mind and behavior and all the factors that develop a person into who he/she is.  Anthropology is the study of an entire culture and their ways of life (religious practice, gender roles, family structure, etc).
