📖 題組：
Psychology is literally the study of the mind (or soul) but its area has broadened somewhat in the last century as we have learned that one cannot consider the mind as totally isolated from the body, and it now includes the study of human personality and behavior. Psychologists also study the behavior and brain of animals whenever such studies throw light on human behavior. It is important to realize that psychologists are first and foremost trained as scientists rather than as medical experts and do not necessarily take much interest in abnormalities of the brain and mental process.

心理學範疇的演變
這道題目的核心在於理解心理學（Psychology）研究範疇的「動態發展」。文中明確指出，雖然心理學字面上是研究心靈（mind/soul），但其領域在過去一世紀已經「拓寬」（broadened），現在不僅探討心靈與身體的關聯，更明確納入了「人類性格與行為」的研究。因此，選項 (C) 提到的「不單只關乎心靈，也包含性格與行為」，完全符合文章中關於範疇擴張的邏輯論述。
