Psychology is the study of the individual. More directly the study of the mind of an individual.
If you mean Sociology, then you are talking about the study of groups of people. The groupings can be very different, men and women, by race, ethnicity group lots of things.

I think you mean psychology, the study of mind. It is pronounced as sycology but is spelt as psychology.

Psychology is the study of the mind. Here is a definition from wikipedia:
Psychology is an academic and applied discipline involving the scientific study of mental processes and behavior. Psychology also refers to the application of such knowledge to various spheres of human activity, including problems of individuals' daily lives and the treatment of mental illness.
Psychology differs from the other social sciences — anthropology, economics, political science, and sociology — in seeking to explain the mental processes and behavior of individuals. Psychology differs from biology and neuroscience in that it is primarily concerned with the interaction of mental processes and behavior on a systemic level, as opposed to studying the biological or neural processes themselves. In contrast, the subfield of neuropsychology studies the actual neural processes and how they relate to the mental effects they subjectively produce. Biological psychology is the scientific study of the biological bases of behavior and mental states
