Question

How do you think researches in psychology helps in the field of agriculture

Answer 1

In contrast to other social sciences that have developed specialized subdisciplines and/or application interests in agriculture, psychology historically has not been known for its concern with rural issues.

For instance, there has not been any psychological counterpart to such social science specialties as agricultural economics, rural sociology, agricultural marketing, or rural geography.

Nonetheless, psychological perspectives have interacted with agricultural issues in several domains:

• Assessment of the therapeutic needs of rural populations
• Investigation of farming tasks and skills
• Analysis of expert agricultural judges
• Evaluation of farm management decisions
• Statistics and experimental design
