 | | Academic psychologists may focus purely on research and psychological theory, aiming to further psychological understanding in a particular area, while other psychologists may work in applied psychology to deploy such knowledge for immediate and practical benefit. | | | Techniques and models from cognitive psychology are widely applied and form the mainstay of psychological theories in many areas of both research and applied psychology. | | | Forensic psychology is concerned with the application of psychological methods and principles to legal questions and issues. |

| | Psychoilogical Anthropology by Kristin Alten |
| | Psychological anthropology is a subdiscipline of anthropology which investigates the psychological conditions that encourage endurance and change in social systems, with the goal of better understanding the relationship between culture and the individual. | | | Psychological anthropologists found this approach more acceptable than basic personality structure because it expressed the character of a group as being the most frequent type encountered, rather than generalizing that traits were absolute or that all of the members of a culture have the same personality structure. | | | Current work in psychological anthropology is focused in the areas of cognitive anthropology, self and emotion and alternative states of consciousness. |

| | Egoism |
| | A bigger problem for psychological egoism is that some behavior does not seem to be explained by self-regarding desires. | | | Psychological egoism is supported by our frequent observation of self-interested behavior. | | | The psychological egoist might handle apparent cases of self-sacrifice, not by adopting the trivial version, but rather by claiming that facts about the self-interest of the agent explain all behavior. |

| | Psychological operations - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | The purpose of psychological operations is to induce or reinforce attitudes and behaviors favorable to the originator's objectives. | | | Psychological Operations (PSYOP or PSYOPS) are planned operations to convey selected information and indicators to specific foreign audiences to influence their emotions, motives, objective reasoning, and ultimately the behavior of governments, organizations, groups, and individuals. | | | After basic training, all PSYOP soldiers report to Fort Bragg to complete the 16-week Psychological Operation AIT course. |

| | Egoism [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy] |
| | If psychological egoism is reduced to an assumption concerning human nature and its hidden motives, then it follows that it is just as valid to hold a competing theory of human motivation such as psychological altruism. | | | The descriptive egoist’s theory is called “psychological egoism.” Psychological egoism describes human nature as being wholly self-centered and self-motivated. | | | This is because, in response to their opponents, psychological egoists may attempt to shift the question away from outward appearances to ultimate motives of acting benevolently towards others; for example, they may claim that seemingly altruistic behavior (giving a stranger some money) necessarily does have a self-interested component. |

| | Psychological Testing Psychological Assessment |
| | Psychological tests are usually administered and interpreted by a psychologist because academic courses and supervision in psychological testing are an integral part of the doctoral degree in clinical psychology. | | | When you are disqualified from a job application for psychological reasons, it means that there are things about your behavior and attitudes that you don’t recognize and that seem of concern to the psychologist evaluating you. | | | Sometimes a psychologist who runs a clinic or has a private office will use legally registered assistants (in California these persons are called “psychological assistants” or “registered psychologists”) or student interns to administer and score psychological tests under his or her direct supervision. |

| | This circumstance aggravates the difficulty of a lucid presentation of psychological matters to a degree not to be underestimated, and immeasurably increases the possibility of misunderstandings. | | | On the contrary, there is a constant influx of the unconscious into the conscious psychological process; at times this reaches such a pitch that the observer can decide only with difficulty which character-traits are to be ascribed to the conscious, and which to the unconscious personality. | | | It is a fact of experience that all the basic psychological functions seldom or never have the same strength or grade of development in one and the same individual. |

| | On the contrary, there is a constant influx of unconscious contents into the conscious psychological process, to such a degree that at times it is hard for the observer to decide which character traits belong to the conscious and which to the unconscious personality. | | | Therefore, if we wish to define the psychological peculiarity of a man in terms that will satisfy not only our own subjective judgment but also the object judged, we must take as our criterion that state or attitude which is felt by the object to be the conscious, normal condition. | | | The groundwork for theories of psychological type were laid in 1921 with Carl Gustav Jung's pioneering work "Psychological Types" (ISBN 0691097704). |

| | No one type of therapy (e.g., psychoanalysis, behavioral, cognitive, or humanistic) is substantially better than the others; all psychological therapies seem to have positive effects. | | | Cognitive therapies recognize the importance of disordered behavior patterns, but also that one’s thoughts and feelings about oneself, relationships, and so forth, affect psychological disorders. | | | Treatment with herbs and natural substances has been replaced by a pharmacopoeia of psychoactive drugs, surgery, and electro-convulsive therapy. |

| | Psychological Inertia |
| | Psychological Inertia takes on different forms, many of which are quite invisible to personal observation. | | | The psychological meaning of the word "inertia" implies an indisposition to change - a certain "stuckness" due to human programming. | | | The general solution to problems like this (i.e., changing tradition or changing the culture) is: "Create a situation where the individuals involved in the change strongly want to change." Such cultural and traditional barriers are one form of psychological inertia, because they represent cultural and "traditional" programming. |
