Research psychologists also present their findings at conferences and other gatherings of their peers.

Applied psychologists work in many different settings. They usually focus on ways increase the intellectual and emotional growth and potential of others. These psychologists help teachers find ways to work with students and may assess the educational potential of students. Applied psychologists may also work in human services and assist other professionals in determining the psychological effects of societal factors such as poverty, culture, race on people in a community. They then offer insight to people such as social workers, community nurses, child welfare workers, etc. On effective ways to reach people influenced by the stressors. Applied psychologists apply psychological theories to real life cases.

Clinical psychologists are people who usually work with individuals, small groups or families on addressing specific problems which are interfering with their lives.
