Many I/O psychologists favor the use of multiple scientific studies of organizations types of ratings in order to avoid any biases that might be associated with using only and their social processes one rating procedure.

I/O psychologists work to improve the effectiveness of the entire organization.

Work-related psychology, social psychology, human relations, and business are combined.

Organizational psychology was developed from the study of social conditions in the workplace.
Organizational structure and culture, leadership, and motivation are some of the issues that the "O" of I/O psychology is concerned with.
There are two issues of organizational psychology that need further discussion.

Thousands of motivation seminars are held around the world every year.

The majority of people believe that the workforce performs better.
Many seminars convey the secret to motivating people.
Work motivation is an internal state that acti vates and stimulates job behavior so that it is directed and sustained toward a job or ganizational goal.
Chapters 6 on learning and 7 on motivation can be applied to work motivation.
Several behavior modi fication programs in manufacturing plants use reinforcement to increase performance.
Bonuses, promo tions, more vacation time, and new equipment are some of the common workplace reinforcers.

Setting goals is often coupled with reinforcement.

The motivation to achieve the goals will be higher if the workers are involved in setting them.

Employees need to be committed to their work goals to be effective.

Employees can be given feedback on their work performance, allowed to participate in the goal-setting process, and rewarded for attaining goals if this outcome is accomplished.

The inputs we weigh against our work outputs are education, time, experience, and skills.

Our motivation is likely to stay the same if our outputs are equal or better than our inputs.
We are likely to be motivated in a different direction if our inputs exceed our outputs.
We could demand a raise, decrease our effort, or look for another job.
According to equity theory, we compare our input-output ratio to other workers' ratios in addition to analyzing our own situation.
If we perceive others to have more favorable ratios, we may want to increase our own performance to get more rewards.

The motivation to perform a specific behavior depends on the strength and interaction of the three factors.

Individual differences in motivation can be explained by this theory.
What is important to one worker may not be important to another worker.

It is difficult to motivate workers because motivation is a highly individualized phenomenon.

Motivation can only be sustained for a short period of time.
In Chapter 14, we learned that extensive arousal can cause stress to the body.

Job satisfaction is the most widely researched work attitude in organizational psychology.

Stable positive feeling toward one's job is defined as job satisfaction.

A measure of job satisfaction is the discrepancy between expected levels of satisfaction and the actual satisfaction an employee feels.

When the work is interesting, when good working relationships exist with supervisors and coworkers, when opportunities exist for advancement and recognition, and when the job offers security and a perception of equitable pay, high levels of job satisfaction are likely.

The Minnesota Satisfaction Questionnaire is one of the surveys that psychologists use to measure job satisfaction.

TheMSQ has employees rate their satisfaction on 20 aspects of the job, for example, compensation, responsibility, opportunity for advancement, working conditions.
The survey only measures five aspects of a job: satisfaction with the job, supervision, coworkers, and pay.
The most widely used measure of job satisfaction is theJDI.

Research does not support the idea that satisfied workers are productive.

A correlation of only.12 was found between job satisfaction and productivity.
It seems that satisfaction is not a key ingredient in employee productivity.
The relationship between job satisfaction and attendance is not very strong.
It has been shown that job satisfaction has a stronger correlation with personal health.
Workers who are satisfied are more likely to help coworkers, to improve their own skills, and to provide constructive criticism for the company.

An effective reward system increases the relation between job satisfaction and productivity.

Sustaining satisfied employees can only be done when compensation systems reflect actual productiv ity.
Some researchers are trying to explain how satisfaction should be measured and what correlation there is between high and low satisfaction.

Some people may be posed as genetically predis to be more or less satisfied with their lives and jobs.

A person with negative affectivity is more likely to have lower job satisfaction levels than a person with positive affectivity.
The job may not have much to do with whether an employee is satisfied or dissatisfied.

The human-factors psychologist deals with performance and limitations of systems that include hardware, software and people.

Human factors are divided into two areas: ergonomics and engineering psychology.

During World War II, human-factors psychology began to develop.

People had to adapt to a machine even if it was unsafe, inefficient, or uncomfortable.
There were costly errors even when the machines functioned properly.

There was no standard arrangement for the displays in the cockpit.

The situation in which a given control could operate an entirely different part of the plane could be confronted by pilots who found themselves flying a different aircraft than the day before.
Consistency in the placement and meaning of controls is essential to the safety of pilots.
The coming of the war required better coordination of human- machine interactions.
Military engineers and physicians joined in redesigning tank and submarine stations, military uniforms, and aircraft cockpits.

Human-factors psychology has helped redesign cars, computers, work cubicles, chairs, nuclear power plant control rooms, and products as simple as the potato peeler.

We have a long way to go despite this progress.
Many people have trouble figuring out how to turn on the water in a hotel shower because we don't use all the features on our digital cameras or computers.

It violates our expectations to use a green light on a control panel.

We are used to turning knobs and screwdrivers clockwise.
Machines or tools that require the reverse, a counterclockwise turn, are likely to be difficult to use and thus cause problems, which can easily lead to accidents.

Many human-factors designs are not constructed according to play systems or control systems.

If the machine water were converted to a single control that adjusts hot and cold water simultaneously, the chance of beingscalded or frozen would be reduced.
The control or display should show us when an action is being tracked.

A buzzer should sound.

When you press a button on an automated teller machine, a message appears on the screen giving you more options.
Obtaining your money from the ATM is the ultimate feedback to show that you did everything right.
A light switch only requires an on-off position and no instructions.
Good visibility is still possible if the controls are well designed.

You had to make a redesign of the stove top to make it more useful.

Poor machine design may be to blame for many accidents blamed on human error.

Human-machine interaction can be improved by redesigning a single knob.

The entire workplace needs to be revised.

All tools, materials, equipment, and supplies should be positioned in order of use so that employees' movements are continuous from beginning to end.

There is no need to change positions if items are positioned so that they are accessible and placed within a comfortable reaching distance from any work position.

In front of the worker, the crucial displays and controls should be located.

The central location of the workstations that are used most frequently should be the one that the person has held.

Work areas should be grouped according to their function.

Consider the poor design of the U.S. Army's M-1 Abrams tank, which was built in and job satisfaction that the student in the mid-1980s without using human-engineering research.

On that job, the tank's turret blow.

Visibility problems were created by the work consoles for each crew member.

The front fender was so badly designed that they did not protect the tank commander or driver from mud, rocks, and other debris kicked up by machines and equipment to fit the treads when riding in an open hatch.
Drivers with those characteristics were only able to see the ground 25 feet in front of the tank.
Negotiating obstacles were very difficult because of this huge blind spot.

Engineers must consider people's height, weight, eye level, and so on when designing equipment.

Engineering anthropometry is used in the development of chairs.
The clothing and shoe industries need to know the most common shapes and sizes of the human body.
The normal range of dimensions of parts of the human body is shown in the charts in this handbook.

Human-factors psychologists are concerned about safety.

Equipment and machines must be designed to not cause physical damage to our bodies.
The setup and design of equipment are important factors in injury potential.
Poor setup of computer equipment can cause neck, shoulder, and wrist problems.
The goal of human-factors psychologists is to design for women so that they are less likely to suffer from the disorder.
There are 200,000 carpal tunnel syndrome cases.

One approach is to distinguish between accidents caused by unsafe conditions and accidents caused by unsafe acts.

Human factors can prevent unsafe conditions.

Human error is the cause of unsafe acts.

50% to 80% of accidents may fall into this category.
Accidents continue to occur despite the fact that aircraft have become more reliable.
Human error has become more important in aviation accidents.
These types of accidents can be reduced with two strategies.
The occurrence of accidents due to risky driving is related to several dimensions of personality.
People who scored high on personality traits had higher rates of car accidents than people who scored low.
Single males under the age of 25 are more likely to be involved in driving accidents than any other demographic group.
Although driving style does not conform to workplace practices, many of the same personality dimensions may account for workplace accidents.
It is possible for companies to screen applicants for their accident-prone or risk-taking personality.

The second strategy for accident reduction is to train workers.

Good safety programs have certain characteristics such as active management and better retention of quality employees.

Efforts to increase safety in the workplace have been done by psychologists.

Efforts to increase the use of seat belts and turn signals by pizza delivery drivers are an intriguing example.
The intervention consisted of a range of efforts, including radio and newspaper promotions and coupons to patrons who asked the dis patcher to remind the driver tobuckle up when delivering the pizza.
Seat belts and turn signal use increased over the period before the inter ventions began.
The increases were maintained for 24 weeks, suggesting that the changes in driver behavior had some staying power.
There was no increase in safe driving behaviors for drivers who were not exposed to the intervention.

Statistics show that the workplace can be a danger according to objective or subjective criteria.

The personality dimensions have been used to select employees.

Almost any human activity is likely to be one in which psychology can make a contribution.

Human performance in extreme environments, community and environmental psychology, occupational health psychology, sport psychology, and forensic psychol proceedings ogy are some of the emerging areas of application.

A new area of interest for psychologists was established by Elizabeth Loftus.

For a long time, Loftus has shown that eyewitness reports are not always accurate.
She shows how investigators can lead witnesses to believe that they observed something that never happened.
Individuals can come to believe that events, such as alleged abuse, occurred when they did not.

There are many ways in which an interviewer can suggest general and specific answers to their questions.

They may ask leading questions, make overt suggestions, or repeat a question.
In the Kelly Michaels case, children were able to hear others' answers and incorporate them into their own memories.
According to psychologists, young children are disproportionately more vulnerable to a host of suggestive techniques than are older children and adults.
The state of New Jersey decided against pursuing the case after Kelly Michaels' conviction was overturned.

As a result of the work of Loftus, there is a recognition of the fallibility of witnesses, and psychologists are increasingly being called upon to provide expert testimony on this topic.

People's memories can be affected by suggestions presented in various forms from various sources.
The witness who says, "I will never forget that face as long as I live" could be mistaken.
Eye witness identification is a powerful force in the courtroom, but it is not perfect.
In many cases, identifications have been key sources of evidence in which innocent people have been convicted, only to be found innocent on the basis of DNA evidence, often years after the conviction.
Researchers are turning their attention to indicators that are more reliable because of this.
The identification is made at a fast pace.
Quick identifications are associated with accuracy.
One advantage of this approach is that confidence is a self-report that is subject to distortion.
The Department of Justice has developed guidelines for law enforcement to use when creating line ups for witnesses.
Table 16-5 contains the guidelines for creating photo lineups.

There are a number of cases in which psychologists are called upon to offer expert opinions on a number of legal issues, from those in which a person pleads "not guilty by reason of insanity" to custody matters.

Pick people who fit the witness's description.

When the witness gives a limited description of the perpetrators, or when the description of the perpetrators is different from the appearance of the suspect, it's important to use fillers.

There is no need for complete uniformity of features.

It is possible to create a consistent appearance between the suspect and fillers with respect to unique or unusual features used to describe the perpetrators.

Consider placing suspects in different positions in different cases and with different witnesses in the same case.

When showing a new suspect, don't show them to the same witness.

To make sure the suspect doesn't stand out, view the spread.

Only a small percentage of defendants who offer this plea are found to be insane.

When such decisions are before a court, expert witnesses give information to the judge and jury.
In Indiana, when a person pleads not guilty by reason of insanity, the judge must appoint at least two mental health professionals to give expert opinions to the court.
The experts have a difficult job because they are asked to give opinions on a defendant's ability to differentiate right from wrong at the time of the crime.

Approximately 60,000 criminal defendants are evaluated each year to see if they are competent to stand trial.

The issues of competency to stand trial are raised more often than the insanity defense.
Under our laws, only individuals who are mentally competent may be tried; defendants must be able to understand the charges against them as well as assist in their defense.

Interviews are still the most commonly used method for assessing com petency, despite the fact that psychologists have developed a number of instruments to assess individuals' com petency.

Only 20% of defendants are found to be incompetent to stand trial despite the high rate of requests for competency evaluations.
They are more likely to be psychotic, unemployed, and have a history of prior hospitalization if they are found to be not competent.
The individual is transferred to a mental health facility for treatment until he or she is competent to stand trial.

A branch of psychology that examines others.

Predicting how individuals interact with other of dangerousness can result in an unnecessary commitment, which is why the last criterion is controversial.

The association between psychological disorders and the tendency to commit violent acts is actually small and is accounted for by individuals with substance abuse and psychotic disorders.

These two areas of psychology share a lot in common, so we decided to consider them together.

The focus is on how individuals and communities can work together to provide a healthy and sustainable environment.

Promoting social change is one of the major activities of community psychologists.

Stress that the world's growing population is placing on our limited resources is an area that has received a lot of research attention.

Theories and research have been contributed to environmental psychology.

Social psychology, perception, learning theory, and cognitive psychology are some of the subareas that make environmental psy chology a hybrid specialty.
If you go to a football game with 50,000 other people later in the day, your functional environment will change a lot.
Environmental psychology research is both applied and action-oriented.
One area that is very popular is the study of environmentally responsible behavior.

When needed, research in this area deals with how to change people's attitudes about the environment.

Environmental psychologists study environmental stressors, such as noise, tempera ture, disasters, and crowding.

Both areas of psychology speak to the human condition in the 21st century.

They have the ability to give solutions to many pressing problems.

Chapter sixteen is a concern for all businesses.

I/O psychology is concerned with safety in the workplace.

Almost 5,000 workers are killed on the job every year and 3.3 million Americans are injured on the job.
More of the deaths occur in the construction industry than any other industry and are often due to falls, electrocution, being struck by an object, or being caught in/between material or equipment.
The most disabling inju ries cost the country 1 billion dollars a week.

Organizational health psychologists help organizations achieve compliance with OSHA guidelines and standards.

The Occupational Safety and Health Act was passed in 1970 to establish and enforce health and safety regulations, to enhance safety education and training, and to promote safety research.
Penalties and fines are assessed against employers who violate safety regulations.
The amount and density of particles in the air are just some of the standards it has established.

Enforcement of OSHA's guidelines and standards is the most difficult challenge.

Critics say that the budget is inadequate and the inspection force is too busy.

The health and safety of 130 million workers is the responsibility of 2,200 inspectors.

Even though OSHA can impose fines for violations, the workplace can still be dangerous.

There are three sources of workplace dangers: workplace conditions, errors in the design of the person-machine system and the workers themselves.

Extreme temperatures, lighting conditions, and noise can be a health hazard.
There are a number of diseases caused by workplace pollution.
Coal min a psychologist who is concerned with removing health dangers from workers who inhale coal dust can develop black lung disease, which results in lung irritation of all types from the workplace cancer, and/or emphysema.
Children of metal workers who are exposed to lead can suffer from congenital defects.

Workers have positive attitudes about safe work.

Setting safety goals and providing incentives for safe behaviors are some of the programs that involve SALVAGEDATA SALVAGEDATA SALVAGEDATA SALVAGEDATA SALVAGEDATA SALVAGEDATA SALVAGEDATA SALVAGEDATA SALVAGEDATA SALVAGEDATA SALVAGEDATA SALVAGEDATA SALVAGEDATA SALVAGEDATA SALVAGEDATA SALVAGEDATA SALVAGEDATA SALVAGEDATA SALVAGEDATA SALVAGEDATA SALVAGEDATA SALVAGEDATA SALVAGEDATA SALVAGEDATA SALVAGEDATA SALVAGEDATA SALVAGEDATA SALVAGEDATA SALVAGEDATA SALVAGEDATA SALVAGEDATA SALVAGEDATA SALVAGEDATA SALVAGEDATA SALVAGEDATA SALVAGEDATA SALVAGEDATA SALVAGEDATA SALVAGEDATA SALVAGEDATA SALVAGEDATA SALVAGEDATA Stressing positive actions, such as setting safety goals and providing incentives, has resulted in a significant increase in safety-related behaviors and a corresponding reduction in accidents.

The occupational health psychologist is concerned about the spread of disease in the workplace.

Substance abuse problems and psychological problems that may interfere with job performance are some of the issues EAPs help workers deal with.
The programs deal with the spread of AIDS and the promotion of better attitudes toward workers who have AIDS.

Health psychologists are becoming advocates for health promotion in order to prevent the spread of disease.

The benefits to the company include healthy, physically fit workers who have less absences, fewer accidents, and higher productivity.
Topics such as good nutri tion, smoking cessation, and the benefit of exercise are typically presented in these programs.
Many organizations have opened on-site fitness and exercise centers where workers can modify their lifestyles.
The results of such programs have been very positive.

Ted shoots free throws with amazing accuracy during basketball practice.

Ted's accuracy goes down when game time arrives.

The coach asked for the help of a sport psychologist who teaches in the university's psychol ogy department.
Ted agrees to try some of the techniques suggested by the psychologist.
Ted feels more comfortable after some relaxation training.
The psychologist suggests using imagery techniques.
Ted creates images of failure and replaces them with images of success.
Ted's performance improves as a result of Roberts & Treasure.

Even though Norman Triplett's 1898 research on the effects of the presence of oth ers on bicycle riders is considered one of the earliest pieces of research in social psy chology, it also is viewed by many psychologists as the first sport psychology research.

The presence of others can facilitate the performance of behaviors such as bicycle riding.
The committee decided to use the services of psychologists to improve the performance of its athletes.
One area of concern is assessing athletes for con cussions and evaluating their ability to return to active participation.

The most common areas of con sultation for sport psychologists are those that are similar to Ted's recommendations.

Competitive anxiety can be an obstacle to high levels of sport performance.
We must learn to deal with anxiety if we want it to interfere with our functioning.
Competition and intense anxiety make it hard for some people to perform well or enjoy the activity.
Most athletes must deal with intense anxiety at some time, and competitors may experience states ranging from relative calm to utter panic.
It is important to know that anxiety is a sign of arousal, but this effect depends on the skill involved.
tackling a fullback at the goal line requires less arousal than shooting free throws.

There are several techniques psychologists have developed to help athletes deal with petitive anxiety.

It can be used to correct bad habits, focus attention, modify levels of activation, build self- confidence, and increase self-efficacy.

A common technique recommended by sport psychologists is imagery, which is used by elite athletes such as Olympic diver Greg Louganis.

Researchers are studying ways to improve the effectiveness of imagery and are using the EMG to determine the extent to which imagery is actually impacting an athlete.
A number of suggestions can enhance the effectiveness of imagery in improving athletic performance.

All of your senses should be used to enhance the imagery.

Relax by using various techniques.

Sport psychologists use their findings to improve the effectiveness of coaches at all levels.

Winning is defined as giving maximum effort and improving according to the principles that form the foundation of this program.

The positive approach advocated by the program makes use of reinforcement, encouragement, and sound technical instruction.

There is an emphasis on the involvement of the athletes.
The program is presented in work shops that are open for 3 hours.

The development of sport psychology has focused on enhancing sports performance, but some sport psychologists focus on fan violence.

People who engage in riots at sporting events tend to be angry, high in sensation seeking, and willing to take risks.
Fans who randomly stop at sporting events are more likely to be peacemakers.
These peacemakers are larger than rioters, less angry, less impulsive, and have higher self-esteem.

The stadiums used for British soccer were built at the end of the 19th century and have few amenities.

The stadiums are centrally located and the fans don't have transportation.

There are many opportunities to engage opposing fans on the way to the game.
In the United States, most spectators arrive at games in small groups and don't get in contact with opposing fans until they are in the facility.
Most U.S. spectators are seated while most European soccer fans stand.
British soccer games start at 3 p.m. on Saturday, which gives a lot of time for drinking prior to the match, while most U.S. football and soccer games start at 1 p.m.

Fan violence in the United States is not as bad as it is in British and European soccer fans.

One of the first instances of fan violence was reported in 1897.
A major league baseball crowd became violent when a player was ejected and fans threw bricks at the umpire.
There are several suggestions for reducing fan violence.

The opposing team's fans in different sections of the arena.

The idea that a team's effort is more important than a game's outcome should be promoted.

The efforts of sport psychologists to develop ideas to reduce fan violence is an excellent example of how psychology responds to current needs.

These applications are not likely to have been envisioned by the discipline's founding fathers.
The various subfields in psychology begin to blend into one another in this example.
Environmental psychologists who focus on ways to design spaces for comfort, safety, and efficient use have developed some of the suggestions for dealing with fan violence.

Mount Everest is the highest point in the world.

In 1953, Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay did it.
Imagine being on the moon.
When he set foot on the moon, Neil Armstrong claimed this honor.
Our list of daring adventures could become lengthy.
Humans have been pushing the limits of their abilities for a long time.
Human performance in extreme environments has been studied by psychologists.

Extreme environments require significant human adaptation for performance, physical and psychological health, and survival.

Extreme environments include the International Space Station, the North and South Poles, high mountains, deserts, and oceans.
You can add EEs to this list.

Large changes in atmospheric pressure, wide fluctuations in temperature, and lighting are some of the physical factors that humans must contend with in EEs.

Interpersonal factors studied by extreme environment psychologists include cul tural differences, leadership, privacy, personal space, communication, crowding, and look at the basic outline of the conflict.

According to research, several of the psychological factors shown on the chapter are important in EEs.
The more detailed outline of the chapter is difficult to adapt to and perform well in.

This is an exciting field that will develop quickly.

Being a good psychological detective involves using and understanding statistics.

This is where we expand on that discussion.

A definition of statistics can be found here.

Statistics can be used to aid in the decision-making process about knowl edge claims.

You can use the two main branches of statistics in different ways.

The typi cal score is a measure of central tendency and is one of the essential characteristics.

We need to know how much variability there is in a distribution.

The mode, median, and mean are measures that tell us about the typical score in a distribution.

There are procedures used to analyze data.

To calculate the median, you have to rank the scores first.

It's easy to determine that 17 is the median in a distribution with a score of 12.

The median is halfway between the two middle scores.

The number of scores would be between 3 and 4.

To find the mean, we add all the scores in the distribution and divide by the number of scores we added.

The Greek letter sigma is used to indicate the sum.

The total of these numbers is 80, and the mean is 16.

The answer depends on the type of information you are looking for.

Mode is the choice if you want to know which score occurred most often.

The mode is 11 The mode does not accurately describe the typical score because the other scores are considerably smaller.

The median may be a better choice to serve as the representative score because it takes all of the data into account.

There are some drawbacks to this choice.
All scores are treated the same; differences in magnitude are not taken into account.
The values of the other scores are not entered into our calculations.

The value of each number is taken into account when we calculate the mean.

The means are different for the two preceding distributions.

The mean of Distribution 2 is larger than that of Distribution 1 indicates that the value of each individual score has been taken into account.

Because the mean takes the value of each score into account, it is seen as providing a more accurate picture of the typical score and is favored by psychologists.

The mean can be misleading.

Even though $1.00 is the most frequent donation, this amount is substantially smaller than any of the other donations, and more people made contributions larger than those who made the $1.00 contribution.

There are equal num bers of higher and lower donations, and five dol lars seems to be more representative of the typical donation.
The mean is inflated by one large donation, but six of the seven donations are under $10.
The report of giving may look good, but it doesn't reflect the typical donation.

If you only have a limited number of scores in your distribution, the mean may be inflated by large scores.

The median may be a better measure of central tendency.
The effect of large scores decreases as the number of scores increases.

$1, 1, 1, 5, 5, 10, 10, 100 mode, and $5.00 mdn are the values.

We now have two values for the mode.

A picture can be used as the frequencies for each category worth a thousand words.

There are several types of graphs.

The percentage represented in the pie chart is a slice of a circular pie.

Figure A-1 shows a pie chart depicting TV preferences for men.

Men and boys and women and girls who are 25% frequent participants in such activities have 10% fitness preferences.

The type of activities and number per category are vastly different between the two groups.

The poly gon shows the frequencies of each number or score.

A line graph is used to show the results of psychological experiments.

Let's look at the construction of the line graph.
Two axes or dimensions are what we start with.
The dependent variables are plotted on the ordinate when we create a line graph.
The values of the variable are plotted on the map.

The data is distorted by other configurations.

The number of correct responses increased as stress increased.

A dot is placed in the center of each bar of a bar graph to connect dots and remove bars.

We can learn more about the numbers we have gathered from measures of central tendency and graphs.

Variation in our data is something we need to know.

Your score on the last psychology test was 64.

What is the data like?

The class mean was 56 when you asked your professor for more information.

You feel better because of that.

You realize that you need more information after a few moments of reflection.

The amount of spread in the other scores affects the meaning of your score.

If most of the other scores are close to the mean, your score is the highest in the class.
Your score is not one of the strongest if the other scores are spread out widely.

We need a measure of variability.

The range and stan dard deviation are measures of variability reported by psychologists.

The range is 24.

We just considered the distribution of the scores.

The range is the same for parts A and B, but the spread of the scores is different.

The results of the first distribution are different from the results of the second distribution.
The standard investigating the effects of stress deviation should be used to provide this additional information.

The total amount of variability in our distribution is represented by a single number.

The range is the same, but the two distributions are vastly different.

The mean should be subtracted from each score.

All we have to do is divide the squared deviations by the number of scores to calculate the variance.

The mode and answer coincide with a normal distribution.

As we move away from the central tendency, fewer and fewer scores occur, with the majority of the scores clustered around it.

The mean, median, and mode of a normal distribution have the same value.

There are interesting relation ships to the standard deviation in normal distributions.

There are more than 10% of the scores that occur between one and two SDs above the mean.

About 85% of the scores in a normal distribution occur between twoSDs below the mean and twoSDs above the mean.
2.5% of the scores are above the mean and another 2.5% are below the mean.

Let's go back to your test score of 64.

The mean of the class is 56.
Your score of 64 is two points above the mean, so you should be happy.
Your score of 64 puts you in the top 2.5% of the class, with 50% of the scores below the mean and 34% of the scores above the mean.

Your score of 64 is not as good as it was when the SD was 4.

You are above the mean, but not even one SD above it.

Because the percentage of the scores that occurs from the mean to the various units is the same for all normal distributions, we can compare scores from different distributions.

These differences can be compared.

You are in the top 16% of the class if your first two scores are more than one SD above the mean.
We can see patterns and even make predictions about the nature of future scores by comparing scores from various distributions.

Descriptive statistics can also be used.

You probably took a college entrance exam when you were in high school.
If the results of the exam are good, a predic tion about your grades in college might be made.
If you plan to go on to graduate school after you finish your undergrad degree, you will probably take another entrance exam.
Depending on your area of interest, you can either take the Graduate Record Examination (GRE), the Law School Aptitude Test (LSAT), the Medical College Aptitude Test (MCAT), or some similar test.

The correlation coefficients are used to calculate such predictions.

There is a proportional decrease in the other variable when we see an increase of one unit.

As scores on one variable go up, scores on the other go down.

We will see a proportional increase in the other variable when we see an increase of one unit in one variable.

The Pearson product moment cor relation coefficients are the most common correlation coefficients.

Take the root.

The perfect positive re lationship between these two variables is shown by our correlation coefficients of 1.00.

The correlation is high but not perfect in this example.

The scatter diagrams in Figure A-12 will help you see the various correla tions we have discussed.

Positive and negative correlations always fall on a straight line.
The trend of the points is from the lower left to the upper right for positive correlations and from the upper left to the lower right for negative correlations.
There is no consistent pattern for the correlation.

Descriptive statistics can tell us a lot, but they can't tell us everything.

De scriptive statistics can't tell us if the independent variable we manipulated had a sig nificant effect on the behavior of the participants we were testing or if the results we correlations.

An inferential statistical test is required to make such determinations.

The results of an inferential statistical test tell us if our results will occur by chance or not.

If we have conducted our experiment well and exercised good control, our statistical result shows that the inde pendent variable we manipulated was effective.

We might be interested in determining if a new method of study will improve scores in introductory psychology.

The students were randomly selected from the class.
These students are assigned to one of two groups of 10 students.

The students in Group A use a different method of studying than the students in Group B.

At the end of the course, all students take a comprehensive final examination.
We compare the scores of the two groups on the exam to see if the new method of studying was better than the old method.

The mean score of Group A is higher than the mean score of Group B.

Several of the students using the old method scored as well or better than some of the students using the new method.
Simply looking at the results won't answer that question.
The difference can be attributed to chance or it can be significant.

This formula is easy, even if it looks a bit intimidating.

Follow along, step by step.

Plug the values you have calculated into the formula.

According to psy chologists, any event that occurs by chance alone 5 times or fewer in 100 occasions is a rare event.

The ".05 level of significance" will be mentioned frequently in journal articles.
If a result occurs 5 or fewer times by chance in 100 replications, it is considered a sig nificant.
Before the experiment is conducted, the experimenter decides on the level of significance.

We hope that the manipulation of the independent variable is responsible for the differences we have observed, if we have conducted the experiment properly and exercised good control.

The value of 2.101 occurs by chance 5% of the time.

We can conclude that our result is significant because our value is larger than the table's.
This result occurs 5 or fewer times in 100.

We would have used one of those columns to deter mine significance if we had chosen a different level of significance.

Inferential statistics are an important part of the scientific process.

They give us a lot of confidence in our decisions as consumers of psychological information.
You will meet other people if you continue your studies in psychology.

The test, chi square, and analysis of variance were developed in the early 1900s.

Two of the most important newer procedures are meta-analysis and effect size analysis.

If you have been reading research reports about cheat ing on tests in college, you must have done it.

The number of men who report cheating is higher than the number of women who do.
Even though this difference is present, it rarely is significant.
If you took all of the reports into account at the same time, you might find that the effect was statistically significant.

A statistical procedure combines the results of several studies into one analysis.

The researcher can draw a conclusion from the result.
When a meta-analysis is performed on the data from all of the published studies on cheating, the finding that more men cheat than women is significant.

Statis Size or magnitude of the effect ticians have developed several statistical procedures to determine effect size to remedy this situation.

The videos take students into today's research laboratories, inside the body and brain, and out into the street for real-world applications.

Major topics of the introductory psychology course syllabus are covered in 17 half-hour episodes of the series.
Each episode has several brief clips.

Chapter sixteen

Many I/O psychologists favor the use of multiple scientific studies of organizations types of ratings in order to avoid any biases that might be associated with using only and their social processes one rating procedure.

I/O psychologists work to improve the effectiveness of the entire organization.

Work-related psychology, social psychology, human relations, and business are combined.

Organizational psychology was developed from the study of social conditions in the workplace.
Organizational structure and culture, leadership, and motivation are some of the issues that the "O" of I/O psychology is concerned with.
There are two issues of organizational psychology that need further discussion.

Thousands of motivation seminars are held around the world every year.

The majority of people believe that the workforce performs better.
Many seminars convey the secret to motivating people.
Work motivation is an internal state that acti vates and stimulates job behavior so that it is directed and sustained toward a job or ganizational goal.
Chapters 6 on learning and 7 on motivation can be applied to work motivation.
Several behavior modi fication programs in manufacturing plants use reinforcement to increase performance.
Bonuses, promo tions, more vacation time, and new equipment are some of the common workplace reinforcers.

Setting goals is often coupled with reinforcement.

The motivation to achieve the goals will be higher if the workers are involved in setting them.

Employees need to be committed to their work goals to be effective.

Employees can be given feedback on their work performance, allowed to participate in the goal-setting process, and rewarded for attaining goals if this outcome is accomplished.

The inputs we weigh against our work outputs are education, time, experience, and skills.

Our motivation is likely to stay the same if our outputs are equal or better than our inputs.
We are likely to be motivated in a different direction if our inputs exceed our outputs.
We could demand a raise, decrease our effort, or look for another job.
According to equity theory, we compare our input-output ratio to other workers' ratios in addition to analyzing our own situation.
If we perceive others to have more favorable ratios, we may want to increase our own performance to get more rewards.

The motivation to perform a specific behavior depends on the strength and interaction of the three factors.

Individual differences in motivation can be explained by this theory.
What is important to one worker may not be important to another worker.

It is difficult to motivate workers because motivation is a highly individualized phenomenon.

Motivation can only be sustained for a short period of time.
In Chapter 14, we learned that extensive arousal can cause stress to the body.

Job satisfaction is the most widely researched work attitude in organizational psychology.

Stable positive feeling toward one's job is defined as job satisfaction.

A measure of job satisfaction is the discrepancy between expected levels of satisfaction and the actual satisfaction an employee feels.

When the work is interesting, when good working relationships exist with supervisors and coworkers, when opportunities exist for advancement and recognition, and when the job offers security and a perception of equitable pay, high levels of job satisfaction are likely.

The Minnesota Satisfaction Questionnaire is one of the surveys that psychologists use to measure job satisfaction.

TheMSQ has employees rate their satisfaction on 20 aspects of the job, for example, compensation, responsibility, opportunity for advancement, working conditions.
The survey only measures five aspects of a job: satisfaction with the job, supervision, coworkers, and pay.
The most widely used measure of job satisfaction is theJDI.

Research does not support the idea that satisfied workers are productive.

A correlation of only.12 was found between job satisfaction and productivity.
It seems that satisfaction is not a key ingredient in employee productivity.
The relationship between job satisfaction and attendance is not very strong.
It has been shown that job satisfaction has a stronger correlation with personal health.
Workers who are satisfied are more likely to help coworkers, to improve their own skills, and to provide constructive criticism for the company.

An effective reward system increases the relation between job satisfaction and productivity.

Sustaining satisfied employees can only be done when compensation systems reflect actual productiv ity.
Some researchers are trying to explain how satisfaction should be measured and what correlation there is between high and low satisfaction.

Some people may be posed as genetically predis to be more or less satisfied with their lives and jobs.

A person with negative affectivity is more likely to have lower job satisfaction levels than a person with positive affectivity.
The job may not have much to do with whether an employee is satisfied or dissatisfied.

The human-factors psychologist deals with performance and limitations of systems that include hardware, software and people.

Human factors are divided into two areas: ergonomics and engineering psychology.

During World War II, human-factors psychology began to develop.

People had to adapt to a machine even if it was unsafe, inefficient, or uncomfortable.
There were costly errors even when the machines functioned properly.

There was no standard arrangement for the displays in the cockpit.

The situation in which a given control could operate an entirely different part of the plane could be confronted by pilots who found themselves flying a different aircraft than the day before.
Consistency in the placement and meaning of controls is essential to the safety of pilots.
The coming of the war required better coordination of human- machine interactions.
Military engineers and physicians joined in redesigning tank and submarine stations, military uniforms, and aircraft cockpits.

Human-factors psychology has helped redesign cars, computers, work cubicles, chairs, nuclear power plant control rooms, and products as simple as the potato peeler.

We have a long way to go despite this progress.
Many people have trouble figuring out how to turn on the water in a hotel shower because we don't use all the features on our digital cameras or computers.

It violates our expectations to use a green light on a control panel.

We are used to turning knobs and screwdrivers clockwise.
Machines or tools that require the reverse, a counterclockwise turn, are likely to be difficult to use and thus cause problems, which can easily lead to accidents.

Many human-factors designs are not constructed according to play systems or control systems.

If the machine water were converted to a single control that adjusts hot and cold water simultaneously, the chance of beingscalded or frozen would be reduced.
The control or display should show us when an action is being tracked.

A buzzer should sound.

When you press a button on an automated teller machine, a message appears on the screen giving you more options.
Obtaining your money from the ATM is the ultimate feedback to show that you did everything right.
A light switch only requires an on-off position and no instructions.
Good visibility is still possible if the controls are well designed.

You had to make a redesign of the stove top to make it more useful.

Poor machine design may be to blame for many accidents blamed on human error.

Human-machine interaction can be improved by redesigning a single knob.

The entire workplace needs to be revised.

All tools, materials, equipment, and supplies should be positioned in order of use so that employees' movements are continuous from beginning to end.

There is no need to change positions if items are positioned so that they are accessible and placed within a comfortable reaching distance from any work position.

In front of the worker, the crucial displays and controls should be located.

The central location of the workstations that are used most frequently should be the one that the person has held.

Work areas should be grouped according to their function.

Consider the poor design of the U.S. Army's M-1 Abrams tank, which was built in and job satisfaction that the student in the mid-1980s without using human-engineering research.

On that job, the tank's turret blow.

Visibility problems were created by the work consoles for each crew member.

The front fender was so badly designed that they did not protect the tank commander or driver from mud, rocks, and other debris kicked up by machines and equipment to fit the treads when riding in an open hatch.
Drivers with those characteristics were only able to see the ground 25 feet in front of the tank.
Negotiating obstacles were very difficult because of this huge blind spot.

Engineers must consider people's height, weight, eye level, and so on when designing equipment.

Engineering anthropometry is used in the development of chairs.
The clothing and shoe industries need to know the most common shapes and sizes of the human body.
The normal range of dimensions of parts of the human body is shown in the charts in this handbook.

Human-factors psychologists are concerned about safety.

Equipment and machines must be designed to not cause physical damage to our bodies.
The setup and design of equipment are important factors in injury potential.
Poor setup of computer equipment can cause neck, shoulder, and wrist problems.
The goal of human-factors psychologists is to design for women so that they are less likely to suffer from the disorder.
There are 200,000 carpal tunnel syndrome cases.

One approach is to distinguish between accidents caused by unsafe conditions and accidents caused by unsafe acts.

Human factors can prevent unsafe conditions.

Human error is the cause of unsafe acts.

50% to 80% of accidents may fall into this category.
Accidents continue to occur despite the fact that aircraft have become more reliable.
Human error has become more important in aviation accidents.
These types of accidents can be reduced with two strategies.
The occurrence of accidents due to risky driving is related to several dimensions of personality.
People who scored high on personality traits had higher rates of car accidents than people who scored low.
Single males under the age of 25 are more likely to be involved in driving accidents than any other demographic group.
Although driving style does not conform to workplace practices, many of the same personality dimensions may account for workplace accidents.
It is possible for companies to screen applicants for their accident-prone or risk-taking personality.

The second strategy for accident reduction is to train workers.

Good safety programs have certain characteristics such as active management and better retention of quality employees.

Efforts to increase safety in the workplace have been done by psychologists.

Efforts to increase the use of seat belts and turn signals by pizza delivery drivers are an intriguing example.
The intervention consisted of a range of efforts, including radio and newspaper promotions and coupons to patrons who asked the dis patcher to remind the driver tobuckle up when delivering the pizza.
Seat belts and turn signal use increased over the period before the inter ventions began.
The increases were maintained for 24 weeks, suggesting that the changes in driver behavior had some staying power.
There was no increase in safe driving behaviors for drivers who were not exposed to the intervention.

Statistics show that the workplace can be a danger according to objective or subjective criteria.

The personality dimensions have been used to select employees.

Almost any human activity is likely to be one in which psychology can make a contribution.

Human performance in extreme environments, community and environmental psychology, occupational health psychology, sport psychology, and forensic psychol proceedings ogy are some of the emerging areas of application.

A new area of interest for psychologists was established by Elizabeth Loftus.

For a long time, Loftus has shown that eyewitness reports are not always accurate.
She shows how investigators can lead witnesses to believe that they observed something that never happened.
Individuals can come to believe that events, such as alleged abuse, occurred when they did not.

There are many ways in which an interviewer can suggest general and specific answers to their questions.

They may ask leading questions, make overt suggestions, or repeat a question.
In the Kelly Michaels case, children were able to hear others' answers and incorporate them into their own memories.
According to psychologists, young children are disproportionately more vulnerable to a host of suggestive techniques than are older children and adults.
The state of New Jersey decided against pursuing the case after Kelly Michaels' conviction was overturned.

As a result of the work of Loftus, there is a recognition of the fallibility of witnesses, and psychologists are increasingly being called upon to provide expert testimony on this topic.

People's memories can be affected by suggestions presented in various forms from various sources.
The witness who says, "I will never forget that face as long as I live" could be mistaken.
Eye witness identification is a powerful force in the courtroom, but it is not perfect.
In many cases, identifications have been key sources of evidence in which innocent people have been convicted, only to be found innocent on the basis of DNA evidence, often years after the conviction.
Researchers are turning their attention to indicators that are more reliable because of this.
The identification is made at a fast pace.
Quick identifications are associated with accuracy.
One advantage of this approach is that confidence is a self-report that is subject to distortion.
The Department of Justice has developed guidelines for law enforcement to use when creating line ups for witnesses.
Table 16-5 contains the guidelines for creating photo lineups.

There are a number of cases in which psychologists are called upon to offer expert opinions on a number of legal issues, from those in which a person pleads "not guilty by reason of insanity" to custody matters.

Pick people who fit the witness's description.

When the witness gives a limited description of the perpetrators, or when the description of the perpetrators is different from the appearance of the suspect, it's important to use fillers.

There is no need for complete uniformity of features.

It is possible to create a consistent appearance between the suspect and fillers with respect to unique or unusual features used to describe the perpetrators.

Consider placing suspects in different positions in different cases and with different witnesses in the same case.

When showing a new suspect, don't show them to the same witness.

To make sure the suspect doesn't stand out, view the spread.

Only a small percentage of defendants who offer this plea are found to be insane.

When such decisions are before a court, expert witnesses give information to the judge and jury.
In Indiana, when a person pleads not guilty by reason of insanity, the judge must appoint at least two mental health professionals to give expert opinions to the court.
The experts have a difficult job because they are asked to give opinions on a defendant's ability to differentiate right from wrong at the time of the crime.

Approximately 60,000 criminal defendants are evaluated each year to see if they are competent to stand trial.

The issues of competency to stand trial are raised more often than the insanity defense.
Under our laws, only individuals who are mentally competent may be tried; defendants must be able to understand the charges against them as well as assist in their defense.

Interviews are still the most commonly used method for assessing com petency, despite the fact that psychologists have developed a number of instruments to assess individuals' com petency.

Only 20% of defendants are found to be incompetent to stand trial despite the high rate of requests for competency evaluations.
They are more likely to be psychotic, unemployed, and have a history of prior hospitalization if they are found to be not competent.
The individual is transferred to a mental health facility for treatment until he or she is competent to stand trial.

A branch of psychology that examines others.

Predicting how individuals interact with other of dangerousness can result in an unnecessary commitment, which is why the last criterion is controversial.

The association between psychological disorders and the tendency to commit violent acts is actually small and is accounted for by individuals with substance abuse and psychotic disorders.

These two areas of psychology share a lot in common, so we decided to consider them together.

The focus is on how individuals and communities can work together to provide a healthy and sustainable environment.

Promoting social change is one of the major activities of community psychologists.

Stress that the world's growing population is placing on our limited resources is an area that has received a lot of research attention.

Theories and research have been contributed to environmental psychology.

Social psychology, perception, learning theory, and cognitive psychology are some of the subareas that make environmental psy chology a hybrid specialty.
If you go to a football game with 50,000 other people later in the day, your functional environment will change a lot.
Environmental psychology research is both applied and action-oriented.
One area that is very popular is the study of environmentally responsible behavior.

When needed, research in this area deals with how to change people's attitudes about the environment.

Environmental psychologists study environmental stressors, such as noise, tempera ture, disasters, and crowding.

Both areas of psychology speak to the human condition in the 21st century.

They have the ability to give solutions to many pressing problems.

Chapter sixteen is a concern for all businesses.

I/O psychology is concerned with safety in the workplace.

Almost 5,000 workers are killed on the job every year and 3.3 million Americans are injured on the job.
More of the deaths occur in the construction industry than any other industry and are often due to falls, electrocution, being struck by an object, or being caught in/between material or equipment.
The most disabling inju ries cost the country 1 billion dollars a week.

Organizational health psychologists help organizations achieve compliance with OSHA guidelines and standards.

The Occupational Safety and Health Act was passed in 1970 to establish and enforce health and safety regulations, to enhance safety education and training, and to promote safety research.
Penalties and fines are assessed against employers who violate safety regulations.
The amount and density of particles in the air are just some of the standards it has established.

Enforcement of OSHA's guidelines and standards is the most difficult challenge.

Critics say that the budget is inadequate and the inspection force is too busy.

The health and safety of 130 million workers is the responsibility of 2,200 inspectors.

Even though OSHA can impose fines for violations, the workplace can still be dangerous.

There are three sources of workplace dangers: workplace conditions, errors in the design of the person-machine system and the workers themselves.

Extreme temperatures, lighting conditions, and noise can be a health hazard.
There are a number of diseases caused by workplace pollution.
Coal min a psychologist who is concerned with removing health dangers from workers who inhale coal dust can develop black lung disease, which results in lung irritation of all types from the workplace cancer, and/or emphysema.
Children of metal workers who are exposed to lead can suffer from congenital defects.

Workers have positive attitudes about safe work.

Setting safety goals and providing incentives for safe behaviors are some of the programs that involve SALVAGEDATA SALVAGEDATA SALVAGEDATA SALVAGEDATA SALVAGEDATA SALVAGEDATA SALVAGEDATA SALVAGEDATA SALVAGEDATA SALVAGEDATA SALVAGEDATA SALVAGEDATA SALVAGEDATA SALVAGEDATA SALVAGEDATA SALVAGEDATA SALVAGEDATA SALVAGEDATA SALVAGEDATA SALVAGEDATA SALVAGEDATA SALVAGEDATA SALVAGEDATA SALVAGEDATA SALVAGEDATA SALVAGEDATA SALVAGEDATA SALVAGEDATA SALVAGEDATA SALVAGEDATA SALVAGEDATA SALVAGEDATA SALVAGEDATA SALVAGEDATA SALVAGEDATA SALVAGEDATA SALVAGEDATA SALVAGEDATA SALVAGEDATA SALVAGEDATA SALVAGEDATA SALVAGEDATA Stressing positive actions, such as setting safety goals and providing incentives, has resulted in a significant increase in safety-related behaviors and a corresponding reduction in accidents.

The occupational health psychologist is concerned about the spread of disease in the workplace.

Substance abuse problems and psychological problems that may interfere with job performance are some of the issues EAPs help workers deal with.
The programs deal with the spread of AIDS and the promotion of better attitudes toward workers who have AIDS.

Health psychologists are becoming advocates for health promotion in order to prevent the spread of disease.

The benefits to the company include healthy, physically fit workers who have less absences, fewer accidents, and higher productivity.
Topics such as good nutri tion, smoking cessation, and the benefit of exercise are typically presented in these programs.
Many organizations have opened on-site fitness and exercise centers where workers can modify their lifestyles.
The results of such programs have been very positive.

Ted shoots free throws with amazing accuracy during basketball practice.

Ted's accuracy goes down when game time arrives.

The coach asked for the help of a sport psychologist who teaches in the university's psychol ogy department.
Ted agrees to try some of the techniques suggested by the psychologist.
Ted feels more comfortable after some relaxation training.
The psychologist suggests using imagery techniques.
Ted creates images of failure and replaces them with images of success.
Ted's performance improves as a result of Roberts & Treasure.

Even though Norman Triplett's 1898 research on the effects of the presence of oth ers on bicycle riders is considered one of the earliest pieces of research in social psy chology, it also is viewed by many psychologists as the first sport psychology research.

The presence of others can facilitate the performance of behaviors such as bicycle riding.
The committee decided to use the services of psychologists to improve the performance of its athletes.
One area of concern is assessing athletes for con cussions and evaluating their ability to return to active participation.

The most common areas of con sultation for sport psychologists are those that are similar to Ted's recommendations.

Competitive anxiety can be an obstacle to high levels of sport performance.
We must learn to deal with anxiety if we want it to interfere with our functioning.
Competition and intense anxiety make it hard for some people to perform well or enjoy the activity.
Most athletes must deal with intense anxiety at some time, and competitors may experience states ranging from relative calm to utter panic.
It is important to know that anxiety is a sign of arousal, but this effect depends on the skill involved.
tackling a fullback at the goal line requires less arousal than shooting free throws.

There are several techniques psychologists have developed to help athletes deal with petitive anxiety.

It can be used to correct bad habits, focus attention, modify levels of activation, build self- confidence, and increase self-efficacy.

A common technique recommended by sport psychologists is imagery, which is used by elite athletes such as Olympic diver Greg Louganis.

Researchers are studying ways to improve the effectiveness of imagery and are using the EMG to determine the extent to which imagery is actually impacting an athlete.
A number of suggestions can enhance the effectiveness of imagery in improving athletic performance.

All of your senses should be used to enhance the imagery.

Relax by using various techniques.

Sport psychologists use their findings to improve the effectiveness of coaches at all levels.

Winning is defined as giving maximum effort and improving according to the principles that form the foundation of this program.

The positive approach advocated by the program makes use of reinforcement, encouragement, and sound technical instruction.

There is an emphasis on the involvement of the athletes.
The program is presented in work shops that are open for 3 hours.

The development of sport psychology has focused on enhancing sports performance, but some sport psychologists focus on fan violence.

People who engage in riots at sporting events tend to be angry, high in sensation seeking, and willing to take risks.
Fans who randomly stop at sporting events are more likely to be peacemakers.
These peacemakers are larger than rioters, less angry, less impulsive, and have higher self-esteem.

The stadiums used for British soccer were built at the end of the 19th century and have few amenities.

The stadiums are centrally located and the fans don't have transportation.

There are many opportunities to engage opposing fans on the way to the game.
In the United States, most spectators arrive at games in small groups and don't get in contact with opposing fans until they are in the facility.
Most U.S. spectators are seated while most European soccer fans stand.
British soccer games start at 3 p.m. on Saturday, which gives a lot of time for drinking prior to the match, while most U.S. football and soccer games start at 1 p.m.

Fan violence in the United States is not as bad as it is in British and European soccer fans.

One of the first instances of fan violence was reported in 1897.
A major league baseball crowd became violent when a player was ejected and fans threw bricks at the umpire.
There are several suggestions for reducing fan violence.

The opposing team's fans in different sections of the arena.

The idea that a team's effort is more important than a game's outcome should be promoted.

The efforts of sport psychologists to develop ideas to reduce fan violence is an excellent example of how psychology responds to current needs.

These applications are not likely to have been envisioned by the discipline's founding fathers.
The various subfields in psychology begin to blend into one another in this example.
Environmental psychologists who focus on ways to design spaces for comfort, safety, and efficient use have developed some of the suggestions for dealing with fan violence.

Humans have been pushing the limits of their abilities for a long time.
Human performance in extreme environments has been studied by psychologists.

Extreme environments require significant human adaptation for performance, physical and psychological health, and survival.

Extreme environments include the International Space Station, the North and South Poles, high mountains, deserts, and oceans.
You can add EEs to this list.

Large changes in atmospheric pressure, wide fluctuations in temperature, and lighting are some of the physical factors that humans must contend with in EEs.

Interpersonal factors studied by extreme environment psychologists include cul tural differences, leadership, privacy, personal space, communication, crowding, and look at the basic outline of the conflict.

According to research, several of the psychological factors shown on the chapter are important in EEs.
The more detailed outline of the chapter is difficult to adapt to and perform well in.

This is an exciting field that will develop quickly.
