1 meaning of psychologies

Practice

  1. 1
    noun
    Plural of psychology.

    The novel carefully contrasts the psychologies of its two main characters.

    Different upbringings can shape strikingly different psychologies over time.

    Note

    Only one side of psychology takes a plural. As the study of the mind or of behavior, the noun stays singular: a student studies psychology, never psychologies. The countable meaning multiplies: the mental and emotional makeup of a particular person or group. So a novel can contrast the psychologies of two characters. The historical sense, the study of the soul, likewise has no plural.
