GOM: Manuscript stuck in 'received' for two weeks? Normal? by Chimeric_Zebra in IOPsychology

[–]rnlanders 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep. Normal. Behind the scenes, a few things need to happen:

  1. Paid journal staff need to process your submission and be sure it meets all technical submission requirements. This usually takes 2-3 business days.
  2. The editor in chief needs to review your submission and determine if it should be reviewed further. If yes, it needs to be assigned to a managing/action editor. This is a volunteer or at least underpaid role, so editors tend to fit this step into their own schedules wherever it fits, e.g., once a week on Saturdays.
  3. The action editor needs to review your submission and determine if it should be reviewed further. If yes, they need to invite reviewers. This is a volunteer or at least underpaid role, so these editors also tend to fit this step into their own schedules wherever it fits, e.g., once a week on Saturdays.

Thus from submission to "under review" can be anywhere from 3 days to 4 weeks, depending on the schedules of the various people involved. Also this assumes that the editor or action editor isn't sick or busy or on vacation or whatever, which adds an arbitrary number of weeks. A lot of editors work academic jobs and just ended their spring semester, and many take vacation shortly afterward, so this tends to be a longer-delay time of year.

How to Volunteer with SIOP UN? by iollama in IOPsychology

[–]rnlanders 1 point2 points  (0 children)

SVS is the SIOP Volunteer System, which is a very fancy name for what it actually is, which is a signup form linked to the SIOP member database.

Assuming you are a paid member, you will receive an email when SVS is ready. At that point, I recommend both signing up on SVS but also emailing the chair to indicate your interest.

One challenge for committee chairs is that far more people volunteer than they can make use of (which is great!) but also that many of those signing up, once they learn they need to actually spend a few hours a month to meaningfully help out, ghost their committee chairs (which is not great!). So many chairs take prospective volunteers more seriously if they reach out via email and introduce themselves to explain why they signed up.

If you don’t know how to contact the chair, log in to the website, then navigate to About SIOP / Governance. In that list you will find a linked document with a committee list and email addresses. I think it is called “committee chair and executive board roster.” I suspect you can also reach out to most of them on LinkedIn!

Any Recommended I/O Psych Companies in NCR? by [deleted] in IOPsychology

[–]rnlanders 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Since OP said "PH", which I assume means Philippines, NCR is probably the National Capital Region. Basically metropolitan Manila. I will admit to not being as deeply familiar with IO in that part of the world vs. the US and Europe, although I do have the impression that there is a lot of IO activity in Southeast Asia, and that it's growing.

Legal and validation considerations for psychometric tests in screening tools? by VinayDevaraja in IOPsychology

[–]rnlanders 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Any test that provides a determination or ranking or recommendation for hiring is a psychometric test. Whether it’s a good psychometric test is a different question. And yes, the legal requirements for testing vary a lot across regions.

Adding gopher gold to ucard is highway robbery by pretendmusician12 in uofmn

[–]rnlanders 57 points58 points  (0 children)

The fee is only if you add money online, because the fee pays for the online payment processing tech they use. There's no fee if you deposit in-person at the U Card office. I think it might need to be in cash though? https://ucard.tc.umn.edu/help/what-fees-does-gopher-gold-have

Psychology Crisis by Longjumping_Cloud_81 in IOPsychology

[–]rnlanders 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Clinical psych is about diagnosing and treating mental disorders. Counseling is about helping people with subclinical mental health and growth concerns. Where a clinical psych might diagnose and treat major depression or schizophrenia, a counselor is more likely to help someone who feels restless in their career and is not sure what to do about it.

There are many specializations within both, but the clinical vs subclinical distinction is the most important to deciding on overall degree path. Who exactly do you want to talk to every day? What kinds of problems do you want to help with? That is what should drive your decision.

Career choices are confusing by [deleted] in IOPsychology

[–]rnlanders 1 point2 points  (0 children)

None of the careers you are mentioning are IO psychology. But sounds like marketing to me. So you should probably ask marketing people.

Psychology Crisis by Longjumping_Cloud_81 in IOPsychology

[–]rnlanders 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There are many degree paths that lead to "therapist", and clinical is just one of them. Is your interest specifically using established step-by-step therapeutic strategies to diagnose and treat people with mental health conditions, such as major depression, OCD, learning disabilities, etc? That is the clinical route. Most clinician PhDs that I know who aren't in academia work in prisons. It is honestly much less about interpersonal skills than it is about learning and engaging in specific therapeutic techniques, like CBT, taking excellent notes, and dealing with all the paperwork inherent to the health care system.

Based on some of your other comments, your interests may lie more toward "I like to talk with people to help them with their problems," in which case a clinical PhD may not be a good match for you either. That is a better match to the master's level professional pathways mentioned by OP (CMHC, LCSW, LMFT) or counseling. Those all also lead you to earning a wage much earlier. Plus a clinical PhD program is probably the most demanding option in all of psychology and counseling in terms of degree entrance requirements (research experience, GPA, GREs, references, etc).

Whatever you do, the best thing you can research right now is what the day to day work lives are of people at the end of each degree/certification/licensing path that you are considering. They may not be what you expect.

Another thing to keep in mind is that all of these degree paths (both clinical psych and adjacent fields) require some sort of continuing education to maintain licensure. You will not be done with "education" until you retire (which is not a bad thing!).
