Discuss some ways in which psychology is being applied to the general public and everyday problems.
Psychology is applied in every discussion you have with a friend, partner, boss or parent. The decisions that you have to make each day, be it a small decision or big. It's just that people don't realise the science behind it. They don't think of how and what made them arrive to a decision or solve a problem. They think it's just very natural and just happened. Yes, it is natural, however, it involves cognition.
Psychology is applied in every conversation that you have. Trying to understand someone and being empathetic towards them to build relationships involves emotional intelligence which is a major part of one's psychology.
Building self-confidence and self esteem is another way of applying psychology in everyday use. Only when you introspect and understand yourself better, will you work on your weakness and overcome it.
Psychology is applied in umpteen ways to the general public and everyday problems.
