Subfields of Psychology |
Read Chapter 8 in your course text and review the subfields listed in Table 8.3. Locate an additional outside source that lists subfields in psychology or a related field that includes one or more subfields not listed in Table 8.3. Cite the additional source according to APA guidelines in your initial post:
- Which three subfields in psychology that most interest you?
- What personal characteristics (knowledge, skills, abilities) do you possess that might make these areas a good fit for you?
- Which three subfields interest you the least?
- If you were challenged with creating a new subfield, what would be the name of your subfield and what would it consist of?
