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)

Some women then wrote about why their number-one trait mattered to them—and they scored 44 percent higher on the test than the others. The study authors say that when women reflect on their personal values, it can buffer self-esteem and reduce “the pressure generated by cultural expectations.”
