What kind of psychology should I study?

Question

I'm aware there are many different types of psychology and I don't know what kind I would prefer, just because I don't know them all.
I love to observe people and to know why they do things and why they react to certain things.
(for example) I was watching my friend and went into a big discussion why she colored the top of her staples green.
Anyone know what type I prefer?

Answer 1

cognitive or behavioral psychology might interest you

Answer 2

If you are interested in observing people then social psychology may be a real interest for you. You should have the opportunity to study different areas of psychology as you pursue degrees, so I would say you should not lock yourself into any one area and explore a little. Hopefully you can find something you love with good career potential that fits your talents.

Answer 3

I would say forensic or industrial psych. Forensics seem very cool and i too am a psych student and forensic psychology is very fresh & interesting. Industrial psychology becuase the corporate world needs so much amendments and industurial psychology may be able to bring equity to the workplace.

Answer 4

Go for abnormal or child psychology. There are enough messed up adults and children to keep your calendar filled 7 days a week.

Answer 5

First of all one should know what psychology is. People have some misconceptions regarding it. I will suggest you to start with GENERAL PSYCHOLOGY, followed by SOCIAL PSYCHOLOGY and then ABNORMAL PSYCHOLOGY.

Answer 6

it seems like sociology would be a good fit because its more about how people interact with others and their surroundings as opposed to how/why people think the way they do.

Answer 7

teen & childrens psychology

Answer 8

god thinks you should be a mother and leave mans work to men
