This would be interesting for me to learn and understand.]]> 2017-10-11 19:56:27 UTC https://padlet.com/mkennedy/s1e83m51tcr5/wish/196206087 abagayle https://padlet.com/mkennedy/s1e83m51tcr5/wish/217046828 i would want to do community psychology because you would work with a group or community of people and with in doing this type you get be more hands on with the community and people in and help them with there issues in the community. ]]> 2017-12-18 18:05:31 UTC https://padlet.com/mkennedy/s1e83m51tcr5/wish/217046828 Hanna https://padlet.com/mkennedy/s1e83m51tcr5/wish/221219769 i would pursue in community psychology because i believe mental health goes a long ware in our modern world and affects many people now a days one way or another and being able to help people and let them know why they're feeling the way they feel and working in a group so they know they're not alone is important to me. ]]> 2018-01-14 00:50:32 UTC https://padlet.com/mkennedy/s1e83m51tcr5/wish/221219769 Tanisha https://padlet.com/mkennedy/s1e83m51tcr5/wish/227171496 i would pursue in community psychology because i want to work in the social work industry. i believe that mental illness affects more people than were aware of and being able to being lightness to their illness or even giving them reasurence theyre not alone. ]]> 2018-02-01 17:35:12 UTC https://padlet.com/mkennedy/s1e83m51tcr5/wish/227171496 Natalie https://padlet.com/mkennedy/s1e83m51tcr5/wish/227330441 I would find Forensic Psychology to be the most interesting because it challenges you to look at a legal point of view as well as a view for the well being of the patient. This field would also be interesting to work in because each case is different and so are the patients. You could have the exact same legal case but two different people with opposite mind sets and mental states, which challenges the Forensic Psychologist.]]> 2018-02-02 00:46:31 UTC https://padlet.com/mkennedy/s1e83m51tcr5/wish/227330441 Sofia https://padlet.com/mkennedy/s1e83m51tcr5/wish/231786334 I think that Health psychology would be most interesting to work in because you get to work with the thoughts and behaviors of many different individuals. By doing so, you could meet many new people and learn how each person's thoughts and reactions are different. Helping patients adopt healthy behaviors would also be very rewarding as a career. ]]> 2018-02-15 04:47:25 UTC https://padlet.com/mkennedy/s1e83m51tcr5/wish/231786334 Karamiah https://padlet.com/mkennedy/s1e83m51tcr5/wish/269401716 Applied Psychology

If I had to pick a specialization in psychology it would be community psychology. I find it to be very interesting how community issues affect the mental welfare of the community members. I personally would like to learn more on the how and why that causes it. Like for substance abuse, why are low income families more susceptible to it? Does it start out as a coping habit or is there more to it.

Though, I think health psychology would also be beneficial because I would not only help others, but myself too by learning about how to control my own stress and mental health.

We often cause ourselves harm because of how we choose to interact with things around us. I know that I personally do harmful things to myself, like staring at my screens in the dark, or slamming doors and getting my shirts caught in them. It would be good for me to learn what could be done to prevent these things (like making doors unslamable, etcetera etcetera)]]> 2018-09-19 17:07:37 UTC https://padlet.com/mkennedy/s1e83m51tcr5/wish/283544928 Ciara https://padlet.com/mkennedy/s1e83m51tcr5/wish/284146647 Health psychology sounds the most interesting, because there are many undetected factors that can cause health and illness problems, that we don't always think about. Even the basic things as not feeling up to exercising or having too intrusive thoughts to concentrate on bettering yourself, can have very harming consequences. If I could help just one person with these things that I myself struggle with, it would make a big difference ]]> 2018-09-20 20:51:07 UTC https://padlet.com/mkennedy/s1e83m51tcr5/wish/284146647 haley https://padlet.com/mkennedy/s1e83m51tcr5/wish/284573124 I find clinical psychology or health psychology the most interesting because I would love to work with a certain age group of children and teenagers and help with mental health problems such as depression and anxiety. You would get to deal with the health and behaviors of many different types of personalities and people. To me these types are the most interesting and fascinating to mean.]]> 2018-09-21 22:33:32 UTC https://padlet.com/mkennedy/s1e83m51tcr5/wish/284573124 Janine https://padlet.com/mkennedy/s1e83m51tcr5/wish/289954211 APPLIED PSYCHOLOGY
I find health psychology the most interesting because it is the study of psychological and behavioral processes in health, illness, and healthcare. It mainly focuses on how mental, emotional, and social factors affect a person's physical well-being. The goal of this psychology is to apply health education, information, prevention and control in ways that will alleviate patient's physical symptoms and improve their live. The bottom line is their are not only considering about the behavior of a person but including their health as well. More importantly I am one of the person who's interested in medicine field, and I am given the opportunity to study this specialization, I wouldn't hesitate to take this field. ]]> 2018-10-06 20:55:32 UTC https://padlet.com/mkennedy/s1e83m51tcr5/wish/289954211 Janine G. https://padlet.com/mkennedy/s1e83m51tcr5/wish/307582428 I agree with everyone's opinion about their choices of career that they are interested on. Some students picked applied psychology, some of them picked forensic, clinical, health psychology and many more. I think because different students have different passion or interest on the are they want to learn. And it seemed that they are familiar with area that they wanted to work in.

I would most likely be a teen counselor because teen life is hard and it would be nice to help make better adults who can function in society with less depression or anxiety or anything in between.]]> 2018-12-05 18:54:50 UTC https://padlet.com/mkennedy/s1e83m51tcr5/wish/311535272 Jessica https://padlet.com/mkennedy/s1e83m51tcr5/wish/311682258 For me I think forensic psychology would be most interesting to work in because i also find law very interesting. Studying human behaviors would be my second choice because I am always wondering why things and people are the way that they are.]]> 2018-12-06 05:43:21 UTC https://padlet.com/mkennedy/s1e83m51tcr5/wish/311682258 Amira https://padlet.com/mkennedy/s1e83m51tcr5/wish/314490594 Growing up with a mother working in law, I found a lot of interest in forensic psychology at a young age. I have always been fascinated by the minds of criminals and I'm interested in learning what causes people to commit crimes. With forensic psychology, there's a lot of cause>effect connections that need to be made and I find that to be one of my strengths. I really enjoy finding these relations and I think making sense of a criminal's mind would be an amazing opportunity. ]]> 2018-12-13 22:24:56 UTC https://padlet.com/mkennedy/s1e83m51tcr5/wish/314490594 Brennan P https://padlet.com/mkennedy/s1e83m51tcr5/wish/326511123 I want to become a teacher so i think that having some understanding of psychology focusing on social behavior and learning behavior so that i can understand them better is what i want to do. I believe it will assist me in helping them achieve their goals. ]]> 2019-01-31 22:35:33 UTC https://padlet.com/mkennedy/s1e83m51tcr5/wish/326511123 Brennan P https://padlet.com/mkennedy/s1e83m51tcr5/wish/326854789 I misunderstood the what this board wanted. I think Social Psychology would be the best to work in since i am interested in how the minds of high school students work. It was also said in my wrong post that i want to be a teacher which is why this section works out.]]> 2019-02-01 19:44:13 UTC https://padlet.com/mkennedy/s1e83m51tcr5/wish/326854789 Ainsley https://padlet.com/mkennedy/s1e83m51tcr5/wish/327443356 I think that health psychology would be the most interesting because every body's mind is different and everyone behaves and thinks differently so it would be interesting to learn how people's minds affect their habits and behaviours. There is also lots to learn and many careers that you could do and it would be rewarding to help people overcome their mental problems. ]]> 2019-02-04 17:58:05 UTC https://padlet.com/mkennedy/s1e83m51tcr5/wish/327443356 Elise https://padlet.com/mkennedy/s1e83m51tcr5/wish/333467906 The area of psychology that I think would be the most interesting is sports psychology. My dad was a physical education teacher for 12 years and he was always saying how much mental preparation is required for top performance in sports. I would be interested to learn more about how an athlete's mental state can affect their performance as well as the different ways that an athlete's mental state can be manipulated. ]]> 2019-02-21 02:25:40 UTC https://padlet.com/mkennedy/s1e83m51tcr5/wish/333467906 Haley D https://padlet.com/mkennedy/s1e83m51tcr5/wish/336182434 For me, I think social psychology is the most interesting. Everyone acts differently when they're alone, when their around friends, or family. Most people show a different side of themselves. Same with introverts and extroverts. I just think we all have such an individual way of interacting with the world and it would be a really interesting thing to do further research on.]]> 2019-02-27 22:28:36 UTC https://padlet.com/mkennedy/s1e83m51tcr5/wish/336182434 Carson https://padlet.com/mkennedy/s1e83m51tcr5/wish/338162721 I would be most interested in Health Psychology because i am very concerned with how peoples internal feelings can warp their whole world one way or the other, and how that can have serious implications as to whether or not they will have success in life and lead it being healthy and feeling well. All of these kids play fortnite for 6 hours a day and drinking gallons of mountain dew all day may very well 25% percent of them may go on to be put in prison for life for getting busted by the fbi for trying to become a terrorist or something because of the carbs these kids are eating these days they arent the good carbs they're

The use and implementation of finding things out about people may also be a therapeutic method for myself as well. The next idea, is that helping people in a possible way to go with advice from a doctor, or to perhaps say no feels like a just position to have which entities some non-serious authority. ]]> 2019-03-07 18:37:01 UTC https://padlet.com/mkennedy/s1e83m51tcr5/wish/339023571 Tilly https://padlet.com/mkennedy/s1e83m51tcr5/wish/373483361 I think sports psychology would be the most interesting for me because I already have knowledge of sports. I think if you can understand what people are going through by experiencing it for yourself, it helps with psychology as you can have empathy. I understand the pressures of sports and performance so to mix that with psychology would be great.]]> 2019-08-06 22:47:04 UTC https://padlet.com/mkennedy/s1e83m51tcr5/wish/373483361 Hannah https://padlet.com/mkennedy/s1e83m51tcr5/wish/380548954 i would find community psychology interesting because you would be learning lots about metal heath and social welfare issues. i think those kind of things are interesting because i would like to learn about why some people feel that way or whats going on in their head at the time.

Everyone's brains and thoughts function differently and seeing how that can affect their mental state would be very interesting to learn about. Helping others discover how that can recover and understanding what's going on inside their brain would be a very rewarding job. ]]> 2019-09-10 16:12:38 UTC https://padlet.com/mkennedy/s1e83m51tcr5/wish/382258850 Josie https://padlet.com/mkennedy/s1e83m51tcr5/wish/382294868 I would be most interested in Health Psychology.

My reason for choosing this sub field would be for the fact I have been around the world of sports for my entire life. I feel like focusing on the psychology of sports would be a really cool experience whether you are in a rehabilitation setting or a training scenario, understanding how the mind responds and reacts to certain aspects of sport would be very interesting.]]> 2019-09-11 20:54:27 UTC https://padlet.com/mkennedy/s1e83m51tcr5/wish/382977496 Nyia https://padlet.com/mkennedy/s1e83m51tcr5/wish/382987842 I think it would be the most interesting to do health psychology because everyday you would be helping a new individual better their mental health.

I am interested in knowing about peoples internal emotions, and feeling, and how they can take toll on someones life, and health.

I think it is very important to take good care of your body as it is your temple. To have to opportunity to help someone overcome an addiction would be so rewarding. I would love to help people develop healthy eating habits and obtain a healthy lifestyle.

I want to learn about this topic more because I find there are so many parts to mental health and everyone's body and brain work different. I also want to learn about this topic because recently people have been making it a easier conversation to have about all the issues surrounding mental health. Mental health is a huge issue in today's world and most people struggle with some type of mental health so by learning more about it we can help overcome and face the issue. ]]> 2019-10-04 16:30:41 UTC https://padlet.com/mkennedy/s1e83m51tcr5/wish/393663517 Maddie https://padlet.com/mkennedy/s1e83m51tcr5/wish/393756717 The area I am most interested in health psychology.

The forensic sciences have always been extremely interesting, and I never thought about my interest in forensics and psychology intersecting. I love to analyze criminals to see if they are fit to stand trial, as well as learn what factors (past traumas, mental illnesses, etc.) came into play when they committed said crime. ]]> 2019-10-08 16:34:05 UTC https://padlet.com/mkennedy/s1e83m51tcr5/wish/395151898 Justine G. https://padlet.com/mkennedy/s1e83m51tcr5/wish/397490869 The area I am most interested in learning is health psychology. External factors such as the environment have a significant impact on our overall wellness. However, health psychology provides unlying truth that focuses on how our emotions, feelings, and behavior can greatly influence health and illness. Also, it helps us understand how people handle illness, the reason why people don't follow medical advice, and develop strategies or effective ways to change poor health habits. I think the greatest rewards of practicing health psychology would be able to make a change in people's lives and foster their emotional and physical well being. This area is holistic and has real-world applications for long-term health, which I think is beneficial for me in the future. ]]> 2019-10-14 15:56:29 UTC https://padlet.com/mkennedy/s1e83m51tcr5/wish/397490869 Tyra J https://padlet.com/mkennedy/s1e83m51tcr5/wish/401255451 The area of psychology that is the most interesting to me is health psychology.

I am a firm believer that simply isolation and/or a lack of community support for adults is at the core of homelessness; and the many paths it takes for someone to get there. As someone who’s worked with Nanaimo's services throughout my life, I find that adults unfortunately have it comparatively more limited when it comes to finding the right kind of support. Not to get off track, however, I am very passionate about this area of psychology and I would love to put that into action someday.]]> 2019-11-29 21:31:05 UTC https://padlet.com/mkennedy/s1e83m51tcr5/wish/417851822 Naomi d. https://padlet.com/mkennedy/s1e83m51tcr5/wish/425226429 I think the most interesting area of psychology to work in would be Forensic psychology.

Behavioural psychology quickly interested my, but I think a job as a forensic psychologist would best suit me . A job as a criminal profiler has always interested me because of the way a criminals mind works, and how events in the past has affected a person. A future job in law and the human mind has attracted me, so it would be ideal to be able to combine the two.]]> 2020-02-04 18:58:53 UTC https://padlet.com/mkennedy/s1e83m51tcr5/wish/440509742 Christian B https://padlet.com/mkennedy/s1e83m51tcr5/wish/441877850 Social psychology is most intriguing to me. Being able to understand others behaviors and their causes has use in and beyond the workplace.

They all have very interesting aspects. I like the sound of sports psychology being an athlete myself and learning from one I feel the job would be fitting as a second choice. If I could pursue any type of psychology I would pick neuropsychology because to me the brain is so complex and so interesting. We learn new things because we are nowhere near the end of knowing how it works and why it does things. Neuropsychologists study the behaviours with the connection of the brain. They are always working with new studies and to me, that shows that maybe I could find something undiscovered and maybe even find a way to cure something psychological.]]> 2020-02-10 20:06:21 UTC https://padlet.com/mkennedy/s1e83m51tcr5/wish/443309799 A.J Boucher-Hamilton alain_jr_boucher https://padlet.com/mkennedy/s1e83m51tcr5/wish/444611310 Wow.

My jack of all trade wants to do it all. But realistically I think I am more into community psychology. I am coming from an addictive family. The abuse of substance that I have seen growing up made chose a sober path. I still drink a beer, maybe once or twice a year. The trauma that is link to substance abuse is what need to be treated. But it’s often hard to get these people to open and share to be able to be healed. However, this is from the list that is shown. I am certain if I had the full list, it would be harder to make a choice. I had to read other people padlet… to see a certain consensus. Forensic and Health psychology are popular. I can understand why.

Forensic falls under applied psychology. Though all the different areas of psychology are important, forensic psychology deals with the legal system and determining whether defendants are able to understand court proceedings.

Though if I would pursue one area, I will probably pick health psychology. In the future, I want to study health and medicine and hopefully get a career in it as well. Starting off learning psychology in university for this is an intent as well because I find both very engaging.

Poverty and substance abuse is really bad right now in Nanaimo. If these people have help from psychologists, I think some of these problems could decrease.

Though if I had to pick just one, I would go with community psychology. A pretty large portion of my family, or extended family, is currently dealing with or was once dealing with some of these problems described in the outline, (specifically substance abuse.) I’ve seen the effects of substance abuse and it is for that reason I’ve always stayed far away from doing them myself.

However, this isn’t a practical vocation for me, since I would not enjoy training in physical education or exercise science.

I would also love to do school physiology. Everyone has done school and experienced it good or bad.

I’ve always had an interest in both law and the criminal mind, as well as the justice system as a whole. Though I feel that it is unlikely that I will pursue a career in this field, I can’t deny the intrigue that lies within it. After a bit of additional research regarding the potential careers that stem from this field, I believe that crime analysts in particular seem fascinating. The thought of working to control, prevent, and predict crimes sounds particularly exciting and impressive. The thought of analyzing data in order to find common themes and trends in order to find the factors that influence crime rates also seems like something that I would be interested in. This is because I personally enjoy looking for similarities and patterns in order to predict the end result of other events. This interest likely stems from my interest in crime and mystery novels and comics. In those sorts of stories, I tend to especially like trying to get into the criminal’s, usually the antagonist, head in order to figure out the missing link; be it motives, methods, or the culprit if they have yet to be identified. Of course for the ones with unknown culprits I tend to figure it out with a “feeling” or “hunch” rather than any proper form of analysis which is slightly less satisfying but contributed to my interest in the criminal mind all the same. That being said, while I’m not particularly squeamish, there are likely limits to what I can handle analytically so I’m probably not suited to this field.]]> 2020-09-21 20:34:03 UTC https://padlet.com/mkennedy/s1e83m51tcr5/wish/765973436 Applied Psychology-Hannah P https://padlet.com/mkennedy/s1e83m51tcr5/wish/766218671 I think the most interesting area of psychology would be forensic psychology. Working with criminals and analyzing why they did the crimes they did would be super interesting. It would also be cool to be a part of a court trial and be able to take part in someone’s jail sentence. I’ve always been fascinated by the criminal mind and the whole world of law and justice. Being able to possibly help with predicting criminal tendencies, find patterns in criminal activity, and even being able to assist criminals with mental issues would be such a satisfactory job to have.

The thought process that goes through both the criminal and the detective absolutely fascinates me, and learning about how unpredictable they can be.

I’d like to know why this is happening, why teenagers are put under so much stress, and how this dilemma can be slowed. I’m fascinated by the complexity behind the human mind and the plethora of possible reasons behind an individual’s mental illness. I’m also very intrigued by forensic psychology because I also have an interest in law. Understanding and analyzing the mind of a criminal and understanding how humans have the capability to commit awful crimes is very interesting to me.

I also think studying this genre of psychology could even benefit the person studying it.

Being able to make new discoveries and explore old ones seems like it would be extremely fulfilling and interesting. I'm also more drawn to the scientific side of psychology rather than the abstract side.

Sports consists of skills, mindset, and effort, and there is always a way to get better. Being an athlete myself, I always look for different approaches to better my effort and focus, so being able to help other athletes do the same would be a great job for myself and always keep me on my toes. ]]> 2021-04-27 20:22:06 UTC https://padlet.com/mkennedy/s1e83m51tcr5/wish/1466338579 JT https://padlet.com/mkennedy/s1e83m51tcr5/wish/1471150849 I know it was only mentioned once in the lesson but I am currently most intrigued by child psychology and I am going to university for psychology, my plan is to get my bachelors in child and youth care with a specialty in clinical psychology. I have always wanted to know more about how children develop their personalities and how certain traumatic events or experiences affect someone who has so much more growing to do.

This is because I believe it would be interesting to apply psychological concepts to legal issues. Psychology and law are both fascinating fields to me, so I think being able to use and apply both psychological and legal concepts at a job would be ideal. I especially like the idea of working in the court system. I believe it would be quite interesting to be able to give expert advice on psychology oriented legal questions, such as whether a defendant is competent to stand trial.]]> 2021-05-02 00:51:16 UTC https://padlet.com/mkennedy/s1e83m51tcr5/wish/1481561175 Applied Psychology - Zyna k https://padlet.com/mkennedy/s1e83m51tcr5/wish/1481921427 I personally find forensic psychology very interesting and would love to work in this field.

Learning about how the mind works, and how thoughts and feelings can affect ones health sounds intriguing. I also think learning about how these thoughts can turn into mental illness could be interesting, as well as a great way to help people. Helping people has always had my attention and I think this would be a great way to do so. ]]> 2021-05-04 06:37:50 UTC https://padlet.com/mkennedy/s1e83m51tcr5/wish/1488417724 William McGhie https://padlet.com/mkennedy/s1e83m51tcr5/wish/1491408655 I believe I would fit best in the category of experimental psychology, if not clinical psychology. I love helping people with their issues, I also love studying how and why they are reacting to these issues in the way that they are. Being told "everyone is different" as a kid only made me want to learn how to notice patterns in different kinds of people, and how truly different everyone can be. I just like studying people, if I had the necessary tools, patients, funding, and space, I feel as though I could help out in the field a lot as well as enjoy it myself a great deal]]> 2021-05-04 19:26:26 UTC https://padlet.com/mkennedy/s1e83m51tcr5/wish/1491408655 Darien.G https://padlet.com/mkennedy/s1e83m51tcr5/wish/1495950456 I think that sports psychology would be a very good fit for me, as staying healthy and playing sports has been a big part of my life. To succeed in sports and staying healthy you don't only need to push yourself physically, but also mentally as well, and you need to find the right mindset for yourself and keep yourself in that mindset, which is a somewhat difficult thing to do for lots of people.

I find the ways that people influence and interact with each other to be very interesting. I am also autistic so the way my mind works is different than most and that makes me want to learn about both how I interact with the world and how neurotypical people interact with the world. I would also love to help people who are struggling socially to figure it out as I know what it is like to struggle socially and helping other people who do would be of great interest to me. ]]> 2021-06-02 21:31:26 UTC https://padlet.com/mkennedy/s1e83m51tcr5/wish/1580802813 Applied Psychology- Ashley Mahal https://padlet.com/mkennedy/s1e83m51tcr5/wish/1710971272 I, personally am really interested in health psychology/neuropsychology. The relationship between the brain and the behaviour fascinates me. How someone interrupts different aspects of learning and how society processes information really draws my attention. As a person who struggles with mental illnesses, I want to discover more about the way I think. I’m sure many people have hit their lows and highs, as for the people who are still in their lows I feel empathy towards them and desire to help them overcome some negative thoughts they may have. I’ve noticed most neuropsychologists work closely with neurologists and learn different brain functions on a daily basis. My strong suit is science so, I think that this career path is compatible and consistent with my personality. I strive to learn a lot in this class. I believe I am a very indecisive individual and I like to keep my options open, therefore I would love to learn about other topics as well. ]]> 2021-09-01 22:39:51 UTC https://padlet.com/mkennedy/s1e83m51tcr5/wish/1710971272 Applied Psychology - Erin ermurphy1 https://padlet.com/mkennedy/s1e83m51tcr5/wish/1741625402 I find health and social psychology very interesting.

I have an interest in mental illness, I would love to know how it develops in the brain and what goes on inside the brain to cause it.

A lot of our development is done during the many hours we spend at school and everyone would benefit from some reform of how our schools operate. Not only that I believe more kids should have a positive attitude towards academia. I strongly believe we were raised on a fear based system. From a young age you are taught to be scared of the subjects that you are taking because it is grade dependent. Subjects like math and science are labeled as "too hard" for most so the kids going in to the classes are afraid to take it so that sets them up for failure and lots of kids opt out of courses that are considered challenging because they dont this that they can do that. Now that I am graduated I see lots of ways that my education could have been improved and it would be interesting to study that from a science based background like psychology. I also think it is interesting the way different students learn and I don’t think the current education system caters to kids who learn differently than how other kids do. Only few kids thrive on “factory learning” and it is outdated. ]]> 2021-09-22 00:32:10 UTC https://padlet.com/mkennedy/s1e83m51tcr5/wish/1758641123 juliana b https://padlet.com/mkennedy/s1e83m51tcr5/wish/1762023658 i find that forensic psychology would be the most interesting, as i am very passionate about law as well as psychology so being able to learn about both sounds really cool to me. and working with the criminal justice system sounds cool.]]> 2021-09-23 05:13:49 UTC https://padlet.com/mkennedy/s1e83m51tcr5/wish/1762023658 My interest in psychology - Myla B https://padlet.com/mkennedy/s1e83m51tcr5/wish/1764136114 Personally I am most interested in forensic psychology. It’s my goal to one day be a psychologist and potentially even a forensic psychologist. The idea of why people do the things they do and what caused them to feel the need to do it is something that’s always fascinated me, when combined with law and criminology something else I find intriguing I feel an overwhelming sense of excitement. I’m interested in how our experiences as people affect the way our brain can process the world around us and in turn how we respond to it. I’m curious how the brain patterns people of who commit mass murders and inhumane torture are different from the brain patterns of someone who is for example an empath. ]]> 2021-09-23 22:06:50 UTC https://padlet.com/mkennedy/s1e83m51tcr5/wish/1764136114 cloe https://padlet.com/mkennedy/s1e83m51tcr5/wish/1794248328 I think working in development psychology would be most interesting because human development is really interesting to me. i also enjoy working with kids and infants and this part of psychology focuses a lot on that age range, but also works with teens and adults.]]> 2021-10-05 19:38:41 UTC https://padlet.com/mkennedy/s1e83m51tcr5/wish/1794248328 applied psychology- jenna horton https://padlet.com/mkennedy/s1e83m51tcr5/wish/1814516466 if i was to get into psychology, which is a possibility, i would either go into sports psychology or health psychology. i have been very into sports and active living for my whole live, and right now i play competitive volleyball. i think learning and professionalizing in what actually goes on behind an athletes mind and what they can do to improve would be very interesting. i have worked with sports psychologists many times, they tend to come in and talk to my team and give us so great advice. Also heath psychologists seems very fascinating, and just learning about the science behind why and how people feel and behave a certain way. also the way it effects your mental health and how these mental illness make you behave.
