Graduate students in Dr. Richard D. Harvey's Collective Identity lab are from two sub-fields of psychology: Industrial / Organizational Psychology and Experimental Social Psychology. The lab is named the "Collective Identity Lab" because it is a collective of students from different fields interested in the common themes of identity & identification in different contexts. All graduate students are pursuing a Ph.D. in their respective fields.
Often referred to as the "psychology of business," I/O psychology focuses on organizations, including concepts such as employee retention, job satisfaction, and workplace culture.
This field may be referred to as the "psychology of the average person." This is a field which studies how the average person 's thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are influenced by others. This field can be applied to many different contexts, including politics, culture, and race.
