A.) & B.) Health Psychology has to be the most interesting topic from the many divisions of the APA. Conducting research based on the psychological behaviors of people is being related to ones health. The key that most interests me is how they are conducting research on unhealthy behaviors.

I think I will get extra information even after I am done testing. I know I will not be studying all over the place but I will be managing my time wisely by using these methods. Maybe my questions I asked my self about the topics will be on the
