Psychology and Business

At the beginning of the semester I struggled to understand why business majors needed to learn about neurotransmitters and the amygdale but the other day I figured it all out. I was reading an article about ethics for my management class and out of nowhere it started discussing Kohlberg's Principles of Morality. This was an exciting moment because I had finally made a direct connection from Psych class to one of my other classes. That same day, in lecture, Ms. Gonzalez discussed stereotypes and pre-disposed attitudes we had.
Then it all clicked.
Understanding how behavior develops in different groups of people is essential in order to manage them and market to them. Connecting psychology and business will help me later in life when I encounter people who see the world differently than I do. A prime example of this is ethics because it has everything to do with people's perspectives. Based on what level of Kohlberg's Morality people are at, they will make ethical decisions differently. Recognizing that difference is imperative to understand other people's decision making processes. I know I only scratched the surface and as I advance in my learning I will connect more topics back to psychology.
