ABSTRACT

Major areas of applied psychology offer methods for deliberately changing human thinking and behavior. In this chapter, we will continue our exploration of some of the more prominent and effective of these interventions , with an eye to applying each in service of the fi ve criteria. Because there are often large research literatures about interventions within each applied area, we will explore applied psychology in three chapters. After a general introduction, human factors engineering (HFE), educational, clinical, and forensic psychology will be covered in this chapter. Chapter nine will cover industrial-organizational (I-O) and chapter ten will consider the applications of psychology in market and community interactions.
