Document Summary
William james: know how to use the mind, not always why it works. Ex: work can be fulfilling or unfulfilling, and that creates the person that you are today. Mchaylie: coined the idea of a flow sense of being. This means that when you become so involved in something that nothing else seems to really matter, and the job that you"re doing isn"t too easy, to become bored, or too hard, to become stressed. I/o psychology: tries to answer the question, how do we make you happier at work? . Job analysis: asking people what you do. Personnel psychology: involves testing employees, and collecting resources such as biographical data, etc. Interview: unstructured: they ask you really weird of irrelevant questions. It tells you nothing about whether the person is qualified or not. Spatial/contentious testing: how well people can move things around in their mind, and interpret and think about abstract things.
