Psychology and Sociology:
Sociology studies some of the same topics as psychology. It focuses on a large group of persons or society whereas Psychology focuses on individuals, the understanding of the factors that shape the individual in society. Psychology also greatly values social and cultural influences on the human being which are a great subject of Sociology. Examples: Sociology focuses on financial aspects and group structure leading to drugs and crime, or compares different classes of society whereas Psychology gives concern on causes of drugs on the individual self and suggests treatment to relive from addiction.
Psychology and Philosophy:
Philosophy is a science that explores the search for the truth. Psychology base on some philosophical background that assumes that one’s beliefs, attitudes, and general outlook has a long-lasting impact on an individual's life. Aristotle and Plato (philosophers) define psychology as a science of soul and mind. Their contribution cannot be denied in the field of psychology. They are internally related.
Psychology and Political Science:
Psychology studies the science of mental processes and behavior and finds out what causes them to behave in such a manner. Political science concerns political institutions and governing methods. The leader as corrupt, dominating and autocratic, etc are a subject matter of psychology. Thus Political science is incomplete without the study of Psychology.
Psychology and Economics:
Life very much depends on the financial aspects like the money, type of house, level of job and so on. All these are a subject matter of economics and lack of proper facility, money may lead to frustration and stress which are the subject matter of psychology. Thus, both of these are quite interrelated to each other.
Similarly, some others are history, anthropology, biology, medicine, etc.
