Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Edward's suggestion that lack of recreational opportunities is causing dissatisfaction among employees at Bianco suggests that he is specialized in industrial psychology, which looks at how work environments and conditions can affect employee behavior and attitudes. Cognitive psychology focuses on mental processes such as perception and memory, clinical psychology focuses on diagnosing and treating mental illness, and personality psychology looks at individual differences in behavior and traits. None of these areas of psychology directly address workplace issues like productivity and turnover.
