Psychology of Combat[edit]

Is there a field of "Psychology of Combat", or something like that? Maybe On Combat: The Psychology and Physiology of Deadly Conflict in War and in Peace could be usefull as a startup? - Nabla 20:54, 22 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Edits are Coming[edit]

It is very evident that changes to this article are needed. I will be adding content to many sections. I will also be adding new history section. Additional help to critique the new content is welcomed. Mary2brown (talk) 16:06, 21 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I have continued to work on major edits to the article since this previous talk posting. Shortly, I will be uploading my changes to the article itself. I will be moving half the introduction into its own history section, removing the random tangent from the I/O psychology section, and adding large portions of content to each of the sections. Here is the current state of the editing. (Note this is a work-in-progress sandbox) Are there any suggestions as I attempt to overhaul this article and move it above the stub rating? Mary2brown (talk) 16:25, 7 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I have now uploaded my changes to the article. These were a few structural changes but the bulk was content additions. I attempted to not recreate the wikipedia article for each sub-section, but instead, give an overview of the sub-field without getting into the specifics of the full article for the topic. I am interested to have input on how these changes appear to other users/editors. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mary2brown (talk • contribs) 15:21, 28 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Concern about changes that verge on vandalism[edit]

I invited user Mrm7171 to discuss changes. The invitations are on his talk page. In the event he does not know about his talk page, I left a link to his talk page in the comments I have made after undoing changes he made. He just excised the entire occupational health psychology subheading from this page without any discussion. I am concerned about his going in like a surgeon, and removing an entire section.Iss246 (talk) 01:10, 22 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry iss246, as you know we have now been discussing things at length. I never knew about talk pages at the time. Anyway please get involved in the discussion below. Your thoughts are very welcome. thanks.Mrm7171 (talk) 03:30, 7 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Group Discussion Requested on Criteria for inclusion[edit]

Hi fellow editors. There is currently great debate going on regarding what areas can legitimately be placed in this applied psychology section, given limited space. There has been no attempt so far to do this objectively and from the perspective of groiup consensus. However the psychology discipline and its related Wikipedia articles deserve such an approach in my opinion.Mrm7171 (talk) 03:42, 7 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

This is the current list described on the outline of psychology article, for criteria to be applied to:

Applied Behavior Analysis Clinical psychology Community psychology Consumer psychology Counseling psychology Educational psychology Environmental psychology Forensic psychology Health psychology Human factors psychology Industrial and organizational psychology Legal psychology Media psychology Military psychology Occupational psychology Occupational health psychology Political psychology Psychoneuroimmunology Psychopharmacology School psychology Sport psychology Traffic psychology

My questions to the group before any additions/deletions are made are what criteria should be used for inclusion?

My initial thoughts are that if a major field of psychology already substantially covers areas of study then duplication should be avoided?

Also only actual psychology disciplines (ie not other separate professions/ disciplines like medicine, nursing, economics etc) should have the right for inclusion under applied psychology? After all, it is psychology, we are talking about.

Fields where graduate programs already exist around the world, not just in the USA?

What is currently accepted by major universities around the world, (ie. asia pacific, europe, Africas, Americas etc) and government regulators as to major areas of applied psychology?

These are my intial thoughts. Please add to the list of criteria and discuss this important matter further. Inclusion needs to be based on such criteria whereas I think in the past some areas have been wrongfully included and others left out. Thank you.Mrm7171 (talk) 03:30, 7 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Wiki Education assignment: Psychology Capstone[edit]

This article was the subject of a Wiki Education Foundation-supported course assignment, between 9 May 2022 and 6 August 2022. Further details are available on the course page. Student editor(s): Hekeene (article contribs).

Feedback on recent student editing[edit]

@Joyb3 @Ian (Wiki Ed) (pinging student and Wiki Ed staff as courtesy): I noticed these edits and I have some feedback about it that I hope can help improve the article. I can see the edits are good intentioned so I thought some feedback would be useful.

There is a bit of redundant content here: This type of psychology can be found in many of the subbranches and Hugo Münsterberg is credited with being one of the first people who has researched the field of applied psychology. are both already mentioned in proceeding paragraphs. I also think this sentence When applied psychology is used in the treatment of behavioral disorders there are many experimental approaches to try and treat an individual. could perhaps be worded more clearly in that it's referring to the diversity of applications of applied psychology in clinical psychology.

The information about Hugo Münsterberg He went to the University of Leipzeg in Germany and attained his doctorate in Medicine. He opened the second psychology clinic in Germany in 1891 where he has continued his research. is in my opinion undue weight since it's already covered in detail in the biography page for him which is wikilinked in the article. Readers are able to navigate to his biography page if they want to know this higher level of detail; in the current text this information isn't made relevant to the development of applied psychology.

The "uses" section seems to me, a bit unclear in what the section is about, since its content seems to be already mostly covered in the lead section. It's a bit problematic to mention one specific text as a recommendation in-article like is done here: The Encyclopedia of Applied Psychology delves deeper... - recommended readings can instead be put in a "Further reading" section which is described in more detail here. Since the Encyclopedia is a title of a major work, it's correct to preserve its title capitalisation and also write it in italics like this: The Encyclopedia of Applied Psychology. When the term "applied psychology" is mentioned elsewhere though, it should be lower case.

Most of the added citations looked high quality and supported their claims, but I noticed a few ones that I wasn't able to verify. I noticed that this citation^[1] semeed to be broken or incorrect for supporting the cited claim. This citation^[2] is arguably too old to be a reliable source for its claim which seems to refer to modern applied psychology. This citation^[3] seems to be about only Luxemborg and does not provide a worldwide view on the development of the subject area; that being said, the claim is relatively weak so the source is still fairly reliable, I just thought to point it out there is probably a more reliable source for this claim.
