Structuralism in psychology refers to an early school of thought that aimed to understand the structure of the mind by breaking down mental processes into their most basic elements. Developed by Wilhelm Wundt and popularized by his student Edward Titchener, this approach was the first attempt to scientifically analyze human consciousness and experience by studying the individual components, or "structures," of the mind.

In psychology, the term "structure" can refer to the organization or arrangement of something, such as the structure of a person's thoughts, emotions, or behaviors. It can also refer to the underlying patterns or principles that govern the functioning of something, such as the structure of a personality or the structure of a psychological disorder.
