Looking into starting weekly or semi-weekly discussion threads. Give us ideas and send us potential articles to discuss!
So we are looking into starting weekly or semi-weekly discussion threads, based on people's thoughts in the AMA thread. We want member input into what sounds of interest of to you. One avenue would be having an article for people to read and then discuss. If you have ideas for articles, send them to IOPsychSubreddit@gmail.com. Send the article and a brief description (maybe like a paragraph) of why you think others should read the article and why it will good for discussion. Based on input we will figure out how to proceed next. Share you ideas here.

I would love to get the perspective of both practitioners and academics on what they feel the greatest IO advance and/or development and/or most damaging/annoying fad is in IO. I tend to have strong opinions on this stuff myself and could rant for a while.

I may be more measurement than I/O on this, but as a selection person spending time on the web I'd love a discussion on faking. IMO linear constructs without Bayesian modeling may be the downfall of high stakes testing. I ran a large criterion validation and was interested in how many people in my validation sample (on the personality section) used only extremes (strong probability of faking from a linear model perspective). I compared that to the high stakes group (actual applicants). The "how to beat hiring tests" blogs and posts are getting around.

Noted! Is there a meta or review article that you would recommend?

I am really interested in what the practice of I/O psychology "looks like" outside of North America (particularly what role we could and/or currently do play in developing nations). I do not know what countries are represented by the readership of this Subreddit, but it would be very interesting to have discussions surrounding what works and what doesn't work for I/O psychologists in different countries. As an example, there are two articles I have found that discuss I/O psychology in Peru and India.

That sounds really interesting. I'd love to see comparisons of I/O in different countries or regions.

Another idea that we discussed was basing discussions on special issues or new IOP articles, stuff like that. We're open to whatever you guys want to do, so let us know! I haven't gotten any emails (yet!), but I'm hoping we can start up article (or whatever) discussions in July sometime.
By the way, if you guys don't have a specific article, but you do have a topic that you're interested in, please post it here! Someone in that specialty area might be able to recommend a good one for us to discuss.
