Biopsychology is the study of behavior, so we know that each individual is responsible for his or her health, so with that said we also know that this topic focuses on physical, social, and emotional issues in the workplace. In the workplace employers not only have to focus on their company but the emotions and each individuals personal characteristics. How people might respond to any given situation, so this is where psychologists come into play by studying individuals to make our workplace healthy and safe. The way it does this is because the biopsychology approach searches for multiple causes for a problem along with multiple answers to a problem in the workplace. We know that there are so many issues at times in the workplace, but what can this do for your health? Since it is known that emotions are tied to you physical health.
