Description: Applied psychologists attempt to build theoretical and empirical models that effectively explain how variation in individual differences (e.g., cognitive ability, personality, motivation, interests) relates to variation in practically relevant outcomes (e.g., training effectiveness, job performance, response to clinical treatment). This course covers major theoretical and methodological approaches to this end.
