Applied Social Psychology (ASP) is an offshoot field of Social Psychology. It applies the science of its parent discipline, social psychology, to solve social problems. Practitioners in the field of Applied Social Psychology work to find answers to "real world" problems such as crime and violence, poverty, discrimination, pollution, work-related stress, and inefficiencies within Health Care, Justice, Education and other essential public service systems. Career Development professionals rely on Applied Social Psychology as it equips them with a solid theoretical foundation for developing and strengthening policymaking, programme planning and implementation among other career-development initiatives.
