Application of Skills
Directions: Apply the knowledge you have gained from Chapter 4 to select the best answer to the questions about the following reading passage.
Research Areas in Psychology
¹ Although most psychologists receive broad training that provides them with knowledge about so many areas of psychology, they usually specialize when it comes to doing research. Such specialization is necessary because the subject matter of psychology has become so vast over the years. Today it is virtually impossible for anyone to stay abreast of the new research in all specialties. Specialization is also necessary because specific skills and training are required to do research in some areas.
² The seven major research areas in modern psychology are (1) developmental psychology, (2) social psychology, (3) experimental psychology, (4) physiological psychology, (5) cognitive psychology, (6) personality, and (7) psychometrics.
