Sociology vs. Psychology help

I’m a Communications major and graduating in Spring. I plan on attending graduate school. I’ve been wanting to study psychology due to my neverending curiousness of the human mind. I love observing.

I’ve been focusing on bettering my mental health as well and becoming more self-aware. My parents suggest I have a masters in Public Sociology though. Help? Thank you!

I’ve never heard of public sociology but sociology in general is the study of society and groups while psychology is the study of the individual. A lot of grad programs for psychology are focused on clinical research or becoming a therapist. If you’re interested in research either field could work depending on your field of interest but if you’re interested in therapy that’s psychology.
