:I also think it is okay to have both work psychology and occupational health psychology in the 'see also' section. Seems both are relevant and would enable readers to explore both tangentially related topics?

Lack of connection between I/O psychology and MSDs
I deleted the see also link to the industrial and organizational psychology page because there is little to no connection between the two topics. For example, the two volume Handbook of Industrial, Work, and Organizational Psychology doesn't even mention it in the index. The Encyclopedia of I and O Psychology has no entry on the topic. I cannot find it in the indexes of I/O textbooks by Schultz & Schultz, Riggio, Levy, Lowenberg & Conrad, Landy & Conte, or Aamodt. It is not at all clear why an MSD article reader would be directed to the I & O article.
- Because work psychology and work psychologists are directly concerned with occupational stress (which is one cause of muscoskeletal disorders) as well as human factors and ergonomics.
- This is your opinion. Where is your reference linking MSDs to I/O psychology?
- Much research has been conducted by the institute of work psychology (IWP) for instance in the UK, and a growing interest internationally by work psychologists in the physical health outcomes, of occupational stress. This source is very specific. [1] The minor inclusion of work psychology in the 'see also' section of this article seems relevant and justified for all of these reasons.Mrm7171 (talk) 01:27, 30 March 2014 (UTC)
- I do not understand your point. So one I/O psychologist wrote a paper about MSDs. How does that make the I/O article relevant? Psyc12 (talk) 02:29, 30 March 2014 (UTC)
