For this discussion board, you will explore how psychology can be applied to business, health care, education, or other workplace settings. 

·         Choose a psychological concept from the textbook. Two examples are motivation and memory. 

·         Briefly describe this concept. What are the main ideas?

·         Based on your results of the FOCUS assessment, how does this concept apply to your possible future career? For example, does your future career involve group work or problem-solving?  

Respond to at least two peers and add to their response.  You could do this by providing an example of how you have used a specific application in your own career or by describing how the same concept could be applied to a different career.
