Find 3 scholarly journal articles (full text, not abstracts) that are empirical studies (i.e., have 4 sections: a hypothesis/purpose, methods, results, conclusions) and that focus on 3 different practical applications of psychology. For example:
You should find three different journal articles that focus on applications such as the following:
How psychology relates to the workplace?
How psychology relates to parenting?
How psychology relates to intimate relationships?
How psychology relates to self-acceptance and self-worth?
Now that you have explored how psychology relates to 3 different aspects of life by summarizing 3 journal articles, the next step is to discuss how you can use what you learned in psychology in your future life and how you have been affected by what you learned in this class. What specific theories from the articles or the textbook can you apply and how will you apply them? You may wish to look at the following (these are suggestions and not requirements):
a. How do you or could you use psychology in your current or future career? Explain and apply specific theories from King (2022) or your journal articles that apply and cite in APA format.
b. How do you use or could you use psychology as a parent? Explain and apply specific theories from King (2022) or your journal articles that apply and cite in APA format.
