Applied psychology

Japanese: 応用心理学 - おうようしんりがく(英語表記)applied psychology
Applied psychology

An academic field that seeks to apply the principles and discoveries of psychology to real life. The main fields are industry, education, and clinical practice, but there are also fields such as politics, economics, management, social welfare, disaster prevention, traffic, crime, and culture. Applied psychology research is also useful for basic psychology research, so the relationship between the two is complementary, and the distinction between the two is often simply a matter of the researchers' awareness of the issues at hand.

Japanese:

心理学の原理や発見を現実生活に役だてようとする学問領域。産業、教育、臨床などが主要な分野であるが、政治、経済、経営、社会福祉、災害、交通、犯罪、文化などの分野もある。応用心理学の研究は心理学の基礎的研究にも役だつので、両者の関係は相補的であり、その区別は研究者の課題意識の違いにすぎない場合が少なくない。
