How does psychology help me become a marine biologist?

Question

i want to work at sea world or somewhere where i can work with animals but i wondered how does psychology help with marine biology can anyone help me please?

Answer 1

If the work you want to do with animals has anything to do with their behaviour or mental processes, that's psychology.

Answer 2

Um... maybe it will help your monitor the behavior of animals? Maybe us humans and animals have that in common...

That's all I got.

Answer 3

so when the crabs are goig through something personal you can be sensitive about it.

Answer 4

Behavioral research?  Working with the animals and training them for shows?  

I'm sure someone with a psychology background could find a position at a place like that.  You may have to build your knowledge of "marine biology" so that you have a base line understanding of a different species and their habits, but Skinner worked with rats and Pavlov worked with dogs.  Why couldn't you work with dolphins or other marine mammals?

Good luck.

Answer 5

It doesn't, they make you take gen eds so they can suck more money from you.

most of college is a money scam

although it is good to learn things that aren't really apart of your major.
