Awareness of I-O psychology has been on the rise thanks to articles written by and/or featuring SIOP members. These are member media mentions found from Oct. 4, 2024, through Jan. 14, 2024. We share them on our social media and in this column, which you can use to find potential collaborators, spark ideas for research, and keep up with your fellow I-O colleagues.
We scan the media on a regular basis but sometimes articles fall through our net. If we’ve missed your or a colleague’s media mention, please email them to astark@siop.org.
