Basic psychology focuses on theoretical research to expand knowledge, exploring fundamental principles of behavior and cognition. It seeks to understand psychological phenomena for the sake of knowledge. In contrast, applied psychology utilizes psychological principles to address practical issues, solving real-world problems. This field aims to directly benefit individuals or society, with applications in areas like clinical psychology, counseling, organizational psychology, and education. Both basic and applied fields contribute to the comprehensive understanding and practical applications of psychological principles in different contexts.
