1.02 Psychology Applied

How does psychology benefit society and improve people's lives?

Psychology, in every aspect, is important to society. We wouldn't know most thigns about our bodies, behavior, or mental thought process if it wasn't for even a portion of these applied psychologies.

There are several subfields in Psychology that are being used today as well. But I covered the 3 most important ones.

Postitive psychology focuses on building self esteem and achieving happiness.

Personality and Social psychology are subflieds that pertain to this specific applied psychology. Personality psychology is a set of characteristics that influence your thoughts. Your school, family, friends, are all a part of who you are and what you think. Social psychology focuses on how you behave in groups, and why you behave the way you do in groups. For example, if you're shy in a group, it shows you're insecure about your surroundings and that you're unfamiliar with them.

Health psychologists seek to understand how our behavior and enviornment effect our health. Our health psychologists are here to prevent disease, find the cause, promote health, etc.

Subfields of psychology that pertains to this topic is clinical and developmental. Clinical psychology are better known as shrinks, they try to understand your situations and help you deal with them, and also find the root of the problem to help prevent it from happening again. Developmental psychology studies how people grow physically, emotionally and mentally which are all very important in where they see how how a person grows throughout their life experience.
