Homework: Subfields of psychology

Hi guys,

For homework, you will be making a one-page chart (hand-written) titled:

Careers in Psychology.

You will need 3 columns:

1.Subfield ....... 2. Focus ........ 3. Details/Examples of work

Go to http://www.apa.org/careers/resources/guides/careers.aspx

On this page you will see 17 careers, or subfields. Read each one and fill in your chart:
1. The name of each one goes in the first column.
2. Then fill in a few key words to describe the focus of each in column 2.
3. Lastly, in column 3, give any important details or examples of how/where this type of psychologist practices.

Remember, you are creating a study guide for yourself! Be neat, write in pen, and summarize important key points that might appear on your test!

Afterwards, feel free to go to the homepage http://apa.org and poke around the APA's website. You might check out the resources for students on the left/bottom of the homepage... Have fun!
