How does the APA define "psychology"?
Psychology is the study of the mind and behavior. The discipline embraces all aspects of the human experience — from the functions of the brain to the actions of nations, from child development to care for the aged. In every conceivable setting from scientific research centers to mental healthcare services, "the understanding of behavior" is the enterprise of psychologists.

About this site:
This site is divided by the various subjects we will be covering in class as outlined in the AP Psychology course description. Under each subject's tab you will find class notes, assignments, links to sites on the subject, videos, and more. The site will hopefully serve as an aid in helping you with the class and in taking your interest in psychology further.
The page numbers listed under each subject are for our classroom textbook:
Wood, Samuel E., Ellen R. Green Wood, Denise Boyd. The World of Psychology. 5th ed. Boston: Allyn
and Bacon, 2004. Print.
Unfortunately our book is a bit old and the on-line resources for it no longer appear to be available. I did however find the resources for the 5th edition of the Canadian version that seem to correspond to our book pretty well. http://wps.pearsoned.ca/ca_ab_wood_psychology_5/70/17985/4604400.cw/-/t/index.html
