I-O psychologists’ passion projects: Can AI predict your personality in a job interview?
We continue our exploration of the field of Industrial-Organizational (I-O) Psychology, the American Psychological Association’s Division 14. I-O Psychology is the study of behavior in the workplace. I-O Psychologists frequently help businesses better hire, motivate, and retain employees. But they can apply their skills in many other ways.
We continue interviewing I-O Psychologists about their passion projects to show you how these individuals are applying their training to enact positive societal change. If you missed the earlier posts of this series, we encourage you to also read about the passion projects of Dr. Haley Woznyj, Dr. Ann Marie Ryan, and doctoral student Mike Morrison.
