Four major
areas of psychology are social psychology, counseling psychology, biological
psychology/neuroscience, and cognitive psychology.
Social psychology is the study of thoughts, behaviors, and feelings in the presence or
imagined presence of others. Steinberg states that, “major causes of morbidity and
mortality among American teenagers are self-inflicted behaviors.” He indicates “that it’s
not hard to change people’s attitudes and knowledge but it’s really hard to change their
behavior” {, #116}.
