Answer 1

$\underline{\underline{\maltese\: \: \textbf{\textsf{Answer}}}}$

Basic Psychology is about the concepts that are fundamental to the study of human behavior.

• In simple words, Basic Psychology is heavy on theory and Applied Psychology is heavy on experiments and the implementation of Psychological theory to deal with real life issues.
• Basic research is theoretical in nature while applied research is practical in nature.
• In this sense, basic research generates theories and improves on existing theories with the aim of contributing to an existing knowledge bank.
• Applied research, on the other hand, is practical and more descriptive in nature.
