B. Industrialization and urbanization
Interest in the systematic study of people's behavior and ideas gained momentum during the nineteenth century, particularly in response to the profound social changes brought about by industrialization and urbanization. The rapid shifts in society led to a growing curiosity about human behavior, cognition, and the impact of these changes on individuals and communities. This period marked the emergence of psychology as a formal discipline, influenced by scientific inquiry and a desire to understand and address the challenges posed by the changing social landscape.
