School and educational psychology are two separate areas, but they have in
common the interest on the psychological experience of people in
educational institutions. School psychologists are often found in schools
working with behaviors and mental processes that interfere with a successful
academic experience.
Educational psychologists generally do research on the psychological factors
involved in the academic experience.
Industrial and organizational (I/O) psychologists study and deal with
psychology in the workplace. An I/O Psychologist may help an organization
design an optimal process for hiring new employees or may work inside a
company, advising employees on how to improve their work environment and
productivity.
