Work & Organizational Psychology

Work-family conflict is associated with negative consequences for workers, organizations, and societies. The work and family domains can interact positively to enhance or enrich one another. Drawing on qualitative, quantitative, and policy-based data, the influence of culture on the work-family interface is explored. Researchers and managers are able to understand the applicability of work-family models in a variety of contexts and further conceptualize work-family interactions.

Psychological & Societal Development Psychology

Psychology can contribute to human well-being at a societal level involving issues such as health, education, gender equality, ethnic tolerance, intergroup relations and even political disputes. Primary emphasis, however, is placed upon understanding how these are affected by different histories, cultures, ethnicities and epistemologies, and thus the call for applications of psychology to be cognizant of these differences.

Clinical & Community Psychology

Clinical Psychology focuses on understanding, preventing, diagnosing and treating psychological, cognitive, emotional, developmental, behavioral and family problems in children, adolescents and adults.

Community Psychology is concerned with building competencies, behavioral changes and agency in individuals, communities and societies, thereby enhancing the quality of life at all three levels.

Economic Psychology

Economic Psychology promotes and discusses research, as well as policy making, on the interface of psychology and economics including topics such as money management, spending, saving and credit use and debts as well as financial and psychological preparation for retirement, money and inflation, felt inflation and consumer spending, and contra-productivity such as tax non-compliance, shadow economy and fraud.

Political Psychology

Political Psychology examines human behavior in a wide spectrum of settings, mainly national and international, in which psychology and political matters converge. Topics, for example, range at one level from voting behavior and political extremism through to nuclear threat and terrorism, and at another from their associated motives and attitudes (such as changing attitudes, especially among adolescents, to war and peace) through to conflict resolution and negotiation.

Counselling Psychology

Counselling Psychology aims to help individuals, families, groups and organizations with their educational, developmental and adjustment concerns and in so doing employs a wide range of assessment and intervention strategies. Generally speaking clients experience moderate adjustment and psychological problems as opposed to severe psychopathology, interventions are short-term, service is out-patient rather than in-patient, the context is frequently educational or work, and emphasis is upon preventative interventions.
