Purpose
Industrial and organizational (I-O) psychology is a branch of psychology that studies how human behavior and psychology affect work and how they are affected by work. Organizational psychology specifically focuses on how the relationships between workers impacts business and how organizational culture impacts individual behavior and employee satisfaction. The purpose of this project is to better understand what organizational psychology is and how it is effectively employed in the business world to maximize success.

Purpose
In this chapter, you have learned about a variety of psychological disorders. Many of the disorders share similar features or symptoms, while others are significantly different. The purpose of this project is to explore the complexities of the human condition through application of the knowledge you have gained in this chapter. You are going to be creating your own version of the DSM-5 to organize the various mental health conditions you have been exposed to in this chapter.

Purpose
The failure to recognize the power of a situation or social context on other’s individual behavior and instead attributing the behavior to the person’s state or personality is referred to as the fundamental attribution error. The fundamental attribution error is most commonly committed in individualistic cultures that promote a focus on individual achievements verses communal relationships.

Social psychologists argue that people’s behaviors, thoughts, and attitudes are strongly influenced by their social settings, situations, and interactions with others. Thus, understanding the role of the social world on behavior is critical and is the central tenant of social psychology. The purpose of this project is to broaden your understanding of the social forces that influence individual behavior and examine the impacts of social settings, groups, and scripts on everyday life.

Purpose

The physical and emotional impacts of stress are real and meaningful. Both good and bad sources of stress contribute to physiological, emotional, and behavioral outcomes in individuals. The purpose of this project is to help you better understand how and what environmental events trigger stress reactions, what those reactions look like and why, and how stress impacts health and well-being.

Purpose
A 2013 survey by the Association for University and College Counseling Center Directors (AUCCCD) stated that around half of college students reported having “overwhelming anxiety,” and nearly one-third of students reported depression so severe that it made it difficult to function. The good news is that most college campuses offer mental health services to students and often for free. The purpose of this project is to help you to determine where college students can get mental health support, and what mental health treatment might be like for them.
