Spot the correct spelling of a drug-effect psychology field.


Options:

  1. Psychopharmacology
  2. Psychopharmacholog
  3. Psychopharmeocology
  4. Psychopharmocology

Right Answer: Psychopharmacology

The branch of study concerned with how drugs affect mood, sensation, thinking and behaviour is built from three Greek elements: 'psycho' meaning mind, 'pharmaco' meaning drug, and 'logy' meaning the study of. Combining them correctly gives 'Psychopharmacology', which is the first option. Each of the other three choices corrupts one element: 'Psychopharmacholog' inserts a stray h and drops the final y, 'Psychopharmeocology' adds an extra e after pharm, and 'Psychopharmocology' replaces the a of pharmaco with an o. Hence the correctly spelt term is Psychopharmacology.
