REPORT: UNDERSTANDING MORE ABOUT CAREERS IN PSYCHOLOGY Directions
This is your chance to use the Internet or library to research fields of psychology. Your goal is to research three different fields to learn more about what each entails. (For example, you can go to your local college's Website and find out how to contact the psychology department. Give them a call and ask to speak to one of the psychologists on staff.)

When you have finished your research, you will write a report. The report must be a minimum of six paragraphs in length and 600 words: two paragraphs for each field of psychology you choose to learn about.

Here is a list of the different available career fields in psychology. You may choose three from this list, or you may do further research to find three of your own.

Clinical psychologist
Counseling psychologist
School psychologist
Industrial-organizational psychologist
Developmental psychologist
Forensic psychologist
Social psychologist
Experimental or research psychologist
Educational psychologist
Psychometrics psychologist
Health psychologist
Neuropsychologist
Occupational psychologist
Sport and exercise psychologist
Cognitive psychologist
Evolutionary psychologist
If you need a little help deciding which type of psychologist to choose, check out the Website for the American Psychological Association. You'll find some good descriptions of many different kinds of psychologists. To speed up your search for other subfield descriptions, use these keywords in a search engine: subfields in psychology.
