ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Journal of Applied Psychology

Okay, so imagine you have a really cool toy that you love to play with. You might take it apart and put it back together again, or figure out how it works. Well, some people like to do that with things that aren't toys. They like to figure out how people work! That's what the Journal of Applied Psychology is all about.

Scientists and researchers write articles for the Journal of Applied Psychology that explain how people think, feel, and act in different situations. They might do experiments to see how people behave when they're working, or when they're trying to learn something new. They might even study how people feel when they're at work, and what makes them happy or stressed.

The Journal of Applied Psychology is like a big book that collects all of these articles in one place, so people who are really interested in learning about human behavior can read them all in one spot. It's pretty cool stuff, and it can teach us a lot about how we work as people!
