Study Applications

For your Study Applications assignment, you will apply learnings from the course as well as personal and professional ethics and behaviors. You will consider ways to apply your findings from your literature review and your proposed study, as well as principles, theories, and research in biological psychology to other careers outside of psychology, and to society in the form of public policy and professional practice.

To create your Study Applications, address the questions that follow below. Use research findings reported in the articles you reported in u07a1, along with other sources, such as previous readings from the course, the textbook, and additional Capella library sources to support and add depth to your answers. Your references should appear at the end of the paper. The entire paper must be in current APA style and format.

  • Identify careers, other than psychology, that might benefit from a foundational knowledge of biological psychology.
  • How can principles and theories of biological psychology be applied in professional practice in psychology and other professions?
  • Within a context of social and cultural differences, describe practical applications of biological psychology to understanding values that underlie society, and the role of ethics in social practices and behaviors.
  • How relevant has studying biological psychology been to your life, and how will you apply what you have learned in this course to your life?

Format your paper using the following headings, as well as the Study Applications Template (linked in Resources):

  • Study applications.
    • Careers.
    • Professional practice.
    • Values.
    • Future life.
  • References.

You may insert additional sub-headings where necessary.

Use a hanging indent after the first line of each reference. The reference list is in alphabetical by first author’s last name. A reference list only contains sources that are cited in the body of the paper, and all sources cited in the body of the paper must be contained in the reference list. The reference list above contains an example of how to cite a source when two documents are written in the same year by the same author. The year is also displayed using this method for the corresponding in-text citations as in the next sentence. The author of the first citation (American Psychological Association, 2010a) is also the publisher, therefore, the word "Author" is used in place of the publisher's name. When a digital object identifier (DOI) is available for a journal article, it should be placed at the end of the citation. If a DOI is not available, a uniform resource locator (URL) should be used. The Marsh, Landau, and Hicks (1997) reference is an example of how to cite a source using a DOI. The Walker (2008) reference is an example of how to cite a source using a URL. Please

The general motors company has more similarities to the ford motors company i.e. their
slope difference is very low
The Nissan motors company also has more similarities to the Mitsubishi Group company
Tesla motors company portrays a significant difference to all other companies
The Tesla Motors company appears to be more defensive as its earnings growth is very
low as indicated by the beta value.
The other companies appear to be aggressive although their aggressiveness is limited
considering their relatively low Beta values. The General Motors Company is the most
aggressive followed by the Ford Motors, then Nissan Motors, and finally the Mitsubishi
Group Company.
