Ph.D. student in Industrial-Organizational Psychology with a concentration in Occupational Health Psychology.

This tumblelog focuses on Industrial/Organizational Psychology and Organizational Psychology (a combination of psychology of the workplace, human resources, and applied statistics with some business). Throw in Occupational Health Psychology, Work and Stress, Social Psychology, Forensic Psychology, Motivation and Emotion, and even the occasional Clinical Psychology thoughts and topics and this is the result.

I try to find articles from the professional journals, blogs, popular news, and anywhere else that strikes my fancy...

I'm now starting to blog here - the name matches my main blog name/URL a bit better...Psych at Work (the new Applied Psych)

Phineas Gage

Don’t you think the Phineas Gage’s case study (ideographic research) was awfully interesting? In the 19th century, while Phineas Gage was working at the rail road, there was an explosion, which sent an iron rod through his head. After a short series of shocks, he just got up and brought himself to the hospital. Seriously, in all that pain? I would’ve rather died. Anyway, physically, he recovered; mentally, his behaviour and personality took a turn - he became temperamental and irresponsible; he couldn’t hold a job down for long. The connection between his frontal lobe and the rest of his brain was damaged and his personality changed for ever. Eventually, he moved to South America and passed away there.
