+Lakecia Reddrick You are very welcome! Although this video is very basic information over I/O Psychology, I am happy that you can find some value in it! Thanks!!!!

You are very welcome!

Do I have to get a phd to make good money or can I just get my masters

Hello Ninja, Research is power for sure. Ok just email me at sharae.mansfield@gmail.com Thank you!

Of course, which I believe you already have. Thanks for reaching out!

hi morgan what did u figure out

morgan davis, what did you settle for

Jonathan Hebron Rai Hi yes, I saw that program but I chose the Chicago School. They have a I/O or Business Psychology program that is similar!

@@sharaeman thanks alot! That's very helpful.

midnightpoem Hello Jennifer! Email me at my personal email! ShaRae.mansfield@gmail.com. Thanks! Sorry I'm just getting back with you!

+Onyx 5 Erica, you're more than welcomed to email me anytime! Thank you!

Hey Candice! Congrats on your recent graduation. Email me any questions you have @ sharae.mansfield@gmail.com thanks!

Hey Candice, did you email me?

Joseph Ward Hwy Mainly because the I/O Psychologist has various performance assessments that they are experts in and the Manager wouldn’t have the needed experience. Managers also consult with Psychologists for advice on what types of assessments to use, some that they may not even know exists.

vanessa Persaud Congrats on getting your Bachelors!!!! I completely understand you being torn between clinical and I/O. I was in the same situation and couldn't make my mind up either. Let me just tell you a little about my choice and the reasoning behind it. I am choosing to study clinical in a PhD program because I already have the I/O Masters and will be able to do both if I choose to once I'm done with my PhD. Also in most jurisdictions across the US (assuming you are in the US), you have to be licensed to be titled as a psychologist. One can become licensed as an I/O psychologist in some jurisdictions as well. This of course would be a non-mental health designation. Another reason I'm choosing a clinical PhD is because in I/O psychology in some states jobs can be limited. The thing to remember if you go that route is to not limit yourself by not being able to relocate. For instance in my state of KY I/O consultants are more limited than a state like NY. Check out www.bls.gov to get information on states in which the field is popular. I just wanted to have the option of working in both fields. Think hard about what which field you'll see yourself happy working in. Do you want to focus on helping individuals (Clinical) or do you want to help organizations and people mainly in groups or teams (I/O)? I firmly believe that you can't go wrong with either one. As far as I/O not being worth it! It’s worth it and in some states I/O psychologist make more than clinical psychologists. It just depends. Also in I/O psychology, your job title may not be "I/O Psychologist". You may be an Organizational Development Consultant, Organizational Change Manager... there are numerous titles that one can have when working in the field. Also think about how far you want to go with your education, or how long you want to stay in school. Some people are able to be successful with just a Masters when working as an I/O consultant and choose not to get a PhD in I/O. An I/O PhD of course with give you more options and remember that after getting the I/O PhD, you can always find a clinical re-specialization program that will allow you to practice clinical if you choose to. If you go the clinical route you know that you will have to get a PhD to practice as a psychologist. The cool thing about a PhD program in clinical psychology, is that many PhD programs will allow you to come in with a bachelors if your gpa and gre scores are good enough. This is due to many of the programs allowing you to do a Masters Thesis before you finish the PhD program. So you actually get a Masters while you're on your way to the PhD. When applying to grad school just make sure you study hard on the gre. Having good gre scores will be important in either of the programs you are applying to, especially at the PhD level. Also start thinking about what previous professors will be able to give you a good recommendation. For many programs you'll need at least 3. Research any school you choose and look closely at graduation and job placement rates. If you select a clinical program choose schools that are APA accredited. I hope this information helps! Reach out if you have any more questions! sharae.mansfield@gmail.com. Thanks

+ShaRae Mansfield, I know I didn't post this comment, but wow, thank you very much for the advise. I too have been struggling with a decision making after I get my bachelors in psychology in about one more year. Congratulations, it really shows how passionate you are about what you do. Thank you, and Vanessa as well for asking the question.

+ShaRae Mansfield This is a follow up to my previous response to Vanessa. I am actually studying Business Psychology instead of clinical psychology.

+Animagape Studios Thank you! Deciding on what to study is a tough decision. For me, it took, at least, a year or so the firmly come to the decision to study Business Psychology instead of Clinical Psychology. My advice is for you not to rush into deciding on your post-bachelor education, and take the time to research really and think about what your next steps are. I wish you luck. Reach out if you have questions.

Thank you!

Remember that when psychological principles are used in the workplace the consultant is looking to solve some type of organizational problem. Many of the problems that are needing to be solved relate to the productivity and performance of the workforce. Of course the principles used will very by organization, but 3 vital ones are principles that relate to leadership enhancement/development, motivation and performance. I hope this helps!

I hope my email helped you!

@@sharaeman this helps ! My sincere thanks to you ma'am 😊 I have a few questions too may I know how to contact you ?

Hey, Hafsa. Remember that IO Psychology is an applied psychology as well. As far as the earnings, they are often based off of degree level and where you live. Check out a post on my block that discusses this. curiouslybookish.com/show-me-the-money/ I hope this helps.

+ailson carvalho Hey Ailson, I don't mind at all, just email me when you have time!

+ShaRae Mansfield ok sounds good! I'll be sure to do contact you soon! thanks!

psychology background*. Thank you!

+Rasheedah Najieb Hello, and thank you! Both Organizational Leadership and Sociology are closely related to I/O Psychology. Sociology is one of the first classes I took at the Doctorate level. I/O psychology can credit much of its beginnings of studying Organizational Behavior to sociologist and social psychology so it's no surprise that you're finding concepts in your study that align with I/O psychology. If you think you may want to work in I/O psychology or Organizational leadership development, it wouldn't hurt to get more psychology related classes under your belt. I didn't start with psychology at the bachelor level, however at the Masters level is when I actually started. I had a few psychology class when working towards my bachelor's and loved them so much that psychology seemed like a natural fit for me. Before going to grad school for a related I/O psychology degree you don't necessarily have to have previous experience, although it may be helpful for you to gain experience just to see if you are going down the right career path. A job in which you are working with people, like employee development and training or even an entry level HR profession would give you some experience. Did this help a bit? Thanks

This was extremely helpful thank you! I was considering taking some psych classes at my local community college over the summer or online to learn more. I'll definitely look into entry level HR jobs and working with the professional development program at school to gain some experience. Thank you again I really appreciate it!

You are very welcomed! I believe I responded to you in an email, but you raise and excellent question. Gaining experience in I/O psychology can be difficult to gain before going into a program, and you don't necessarily need to be a psychology major! The important thing is to make great grades in your bachelor's program so that you get into a great I/O psychology graduate program! I hope this helps!

+ShaRae Mansfield you did email me and gave great advice! I've been looking at SIOP's website, joined a Black I/O Psych LinkedIn group and just been trying to do my best to learn about organizations. I saw that there is such thing as organizational sociology and economic sociology, but neither of them are well practiced anymore.

+codeman7780 Hello, yes I sure am. Post a question here, or just email me. Thanks...
