The research scope of basic psychology includes feeling, perception, attention, memory, thinking and speech, action, emotion and motivation, consciousness, personality tendency and ability, temperament, personality and its related biological basis. His research interests include cognitive psychology, experimental psychology, physiological psychology and cognitive neuroscience. , are the basic problems of psychology, and are indispensable subjects in the discipline system of psychology, mainly involving EEG, cognition and eye movement.
The employment direction of basic psychology is generally to take a doctor's degree and enter colleges and universities to be college teachers. In addition, the foundation is a technology, which can enter the enterprise to do research and development, statistics and evaluation work such as personnel evaluation and performance appraisal. Generally speaking, students majoring in computer, English, medicine and psychology prefer this. Basic psychology is a good direction to deeply understand psychology and find psychological laws. If you really like psychology and want to engage in psychological research, then this is a good choice.
Basically, normal colleges and universities all have the direction of basic psychology, and their scores will be lower than those of applied pedagogy.
Development and educational psychology
Development and educational psychology are generally subdivided into development psychology and educational psychology. The former includes cognitive and thinking development, brain function and cognitive development, personality and social development, and psychological counseling for children and adolescents, while the latter includes learning and educational psychology, psychological counseling and counseling, information technology and teaching psychology, and school psychology. The employment direction is mostly the correction of teenagers' psychological and behavioral problems: teenagers' psychological development, children's growth tutor consultation, etc. They enter universities, early education institutions, disabled persons' federations, etc.
It is relatively easy to develop the groups targeted by educational psychology, just as we can recall our psychological development at this stage in the process of learning. The development and education of normal colleges will be much better. In the future, we can engage in psychological health counseling for teenagers or open some children's training centers.
applied psychology
Applied psychology is committed to applying psychological theory to practical activities to promote the development of human society and solve human psychological problems, and to cultivate senior professionals who can engage in teaching, management, consultation and treatment, and technology development in engineering design, industrial and commercial enterprises, medical care, justice, administrative management and other departments. The research field of applied psychology has covered all aspects of human life. Specific directions include psychological measurement and consultation, medical and clinical psychology (psychological consultation, mental health), management (industrial) psychology, human resource management psychology, and economic (including advertising and consumption) psychology. Generally, this direction scores the highest. If the students are not very good, they can directly consider the Master of Applied Psychology. The same is true of employment.
Employment orientation: generally you can enter universities, enterprises, hospitals, prisons, etc. A wide range of work, high salary.
Text introduction of specific consultation and management.
In fact, there are family relationship breakdown (domestic violence), neurosis (depression, mania, fear and anxiety, etc. ), emotional distress (mother-in-law cares about extramarital affairs, etc. ), teenagers (anxiety career planning before the college entrance examination, etc. ), enterprise EAP (group activities) career planning (95% of recent graduates said that they would "jump ship after working for one year". Some graduates even said that it is best to work in the same company for three months. Some college students who have just started their jobs are a little frustrated at work, so they angrily hand in their resignations ...) and other small plates.
Now, before we formally join the ranks, we need to know what role psychological counseling plays in the whole society and what the proportion of this subject is in the social population. Of course, in developed countries, psychology, lawyers and doctors are all subjects of great concern to society. In the United States, there is one counselor for every 2,000 people, and there are more than 200,000 people with counselor certificates in China. However, our quality is far from meeting the requirements of society. Most of the students who have the certificate of psychological counselor have attended classes for hundreds of hours and can only get them by memorizing them well. However, in the United States, they must get a doctorate, and after three to six years of repeated training, they can obtain the status of psychological counselors under the supervision of others. In Europe, we also need a master's degree. These gaps are very large. Obviously, our training does not meet our future needs. We need to improve the level of psychologists. We should train graduate students now and engage in psychological counseling in the future. Only in this way can our foundation be profound.
At present, applied psychology has been regarded as the professional training direction of the Ministry of Education and the content of national vocational examinations, such as the certificate of psychological counselor. Students with medical background in the health system can take psychology exams and become psychotherapists, psychological counselors and child care teachers. If there are no students with medical background, we can be psychological counselors, career planners and EAP trainers.
Management Psychology At present, more and more organizations are beginning to realize that mastering employees' psychology and helping employees live and work healthily has become an important part of their work, involving human resource management, personnel assessment, recruitment assessment, enterprise training, EAP, PCA and other specific positions. Employee's psychological capital appreciation (PCA) is a systematic solution to improve employee's psychological capital level, which is based on positive psychology, positive organizational science, positive organizational behavior theory and empirical research of psychological capital, and is oriented to improve employee well-being and organizational performance. Develop the key psychological capital elements of employees, such as happiness, self-confidence, hope, optimism and tenacity. Management psychology, which implies organizational behavior, is the closest combination with the market at present, and generally works in various enterprises and does human resources-related work. Of course, what we want to match is students majoring in human resources. For example, students who graduated from Guanghua School of Management at Peking University must have tens of thousands of salaries at the beginning. However, we have our own advantages. What we are good at in psychology is the application of three instrumental disciplines of experimental statistical measurers. We can make various scales with relatively high reliability and validity according to specific experiments, and control the corresponding variables to prove the feasibility of a scheme. More importantly, we don't need to take the advanced math test for psychological manpower.
