How deep was the research in industrial psychology at the time? I mean, i'm sure it wasn't, butust so o, starting, my professorpat smith, was one of the first women in industrial psychology. The idea of gold setting actually came out of a book she and another professor cornell wrote on an experiment on gold setting done in 19 35 in england. They said, this might be a good thing to study anitod a minute. Study th smore. And that was the beginning.
