The purpose of this article was to introduce the discipline of Industrial and Organizational (I/O) Psychology and discuss its connection with translational research. I/O Psychology is dedicated to improving the lives of people at work, and maintaining the communication between science and practice has been key to the success of that endeavor. A discussion on some of the more heavily researched I/O topics is presented, along with a discussion on the application of I/O in the form of organizational interventions. It is hoped that this article will contribute to the current discussion on translational research among the biome...

Is anger management style associated with descending modulation of spinal nociception?
This study assessed the relationship between anger management styles and markers of central sensitization (i.e., temporal summation of pain [TS‐pain] and nociception flexion reflex [TS‐NFR]), spinal nociception (nociception flexion reflex [NFR] threshold), and measures of pain experience. One hundred nine healthy pain‐free individuals completed the study. A bootstrapped mediation analysis was conducted to test whether negative affect mediated relationships with anger‐in. Results suggested that anger‐in and anger‐out were associated with lower NFR thresholds (facilitated spinal nociception), but no other outcome...

Neuromuscular electrical stimulation for pain management in combat ‐related transtibial amputees during rehabilitation and prosthetic training
Military members with war‐related lower limb amputation experience a range of acute and chronic pain symptoms. The purpose of this study was to evaluate pain during 12 weeks of a military amputee rehabilitation program (MARP) pre‐ and post‐prosthesis. The data for this study were drawn from a randomized clinical trial comparing MARP supplemented with neuromuscular electrostimulation (MARP + NMES, n = 23) to MARP alone (n = 21) for service members with unilateral transtibial amputation. The McGill Pain Questionnaire (MPQ) and phantom limb pain/sensations were assessed at baseline, 3, 6, 9, and 12 weeks. Change...

Control ‐Oriented Coping Buffers Stress Responses in Evacuees from a Technological Accident
In this study, control‐oriented coping and immediate stress responses were studied in 40 evacuees (during a nearly 3‐week evacuation) from a technological accident and concurrently in 50 participants from a demographically similar comparison site. Control‐oriented coping was significantly and negatively associated with psychological, behavioral, and physiological stress responses in evacuees, but not comparison‐site participants. This is the first investigation we are aware of relating control‐oriented coping to immediate stress responses in the acute phase of exposure to evacuation from a technological accident....

Pain Catastrophizing Mediates the Relationship Between Trait Happiness and Depressive Symptoms in Individuals with Current Pain
This study characterized the independent contributions of pain intensity, pain catastrophizing, and trait happiness to depressive symptoms in 70 volunteers across three groups: two groups with current low back pain and those in a methadone maintenance treatment program. Results suggested no direct relationships between pain and either trait happiness or depressive symptoms, but participants reporting higher levels of trait happiness tended to report lower levels of depressive symptomatology, an effect mediated by lower levels of pain catastrophizing. Though unrelated to pain, trait happiness may alter pain‐relevant outco...

Posttraumatic Symptoms, Quality of Life, and Survival among Lung Cancer Patients
This longitudinal study characterized psychological adjustment in a sample of lung cancer patients by examining the occurrence of posttraumatic stress and growth and their relationships with mental and physical health quality of life and survival over time. Two waves of consecutive cohort samples, totaling 115 participants diagnosed with lung cancer, were identified from outpatient oncology clinics. Of these, 93 consented and completed the first of three assessments, and 57 completed the study. Prevalence of posttraumatic stress symptoms (PTSD Checklist) and posttraumatic growth (Posttraumatic Growth Inventory) were assess...

Distance ‐based Permutation of Inter‐Meal Differences as a Sensitive Test of Temporomandibular Joint Nociception in Rats
In this study, we reanalyzed the data using a nonparametric permutation procedure based on absolute differences between intra‐meal feeding rate curves. In addition to that experiment, we injected bilaterally the TMJ of naive rats with either a low‐dose CFA (15 μg/50 μL per side, n = 6) or saline (50 μL of 0.9%, n = 4) and monitored the animals for 7 days. The permutation test of the intra‐meal feeding rate detected the presence of nociception in the high‐dose CFA treatment group for up to 40 days or twice as long as when using ANOVA on average daily meal durations. The permutation method also detected t...

Role of ApoE ‐ε4 Genotype in Gait and Balance in Older Adults: A Pilot Study
Falls are common and costly in older adults. Risk factors include deficits in gait and postural control, both of which are linked to cognitive impairments. These cognitive impairments may be attributed to a genetic predisposition. A previous study found that a genetic risk factor related to Alzheimer's disease (the ApoE‐ε4 genetic variant) is also related to gait speed decline in older adults. No research has attempted to assess the impact of this variant on postural control in older adults. The purpose of this pilot study was to replicate the gait findings and extend these to measures of balance in older adults. Forty...

Summer day camp attendance facilitates some children meeting physical activity recommendations: Differences by gender and weight status
The purpose of this study was to determine if participants in a summer camp met physical activity guidelines and to examine whether physical activity levels differed by gender, race, socio‐economic status, or weight status. Height, weight, demographic information, and accelerometer‐measured physical activity were obtained from 132 participants aged 6–12 years at 6 day camps. Participants engaged in an average of 57.7 min (SD = 26.54) of moderate‐to‐vigorous physical activity during the 8 hr of camp. Almost 40% (39.8%) of the campers met the physical activity guidelines of at least 60 min of moderate‐to...

Pain catastrophizing may moderate the association between pain and secondary hyperalgesia
Catastrophizing, a persistent negative mental set characterized by helplessness, rumination, and magnification of pain sensations, has a potent effect on pain report and clinical outcomes. Previous studies have documented an association between cognitive factors and central sensitization. The current analysis sought to test the potential modulating effect of pain catastrophizing on the association between capsaicin pain and the region of secondary hyperalgesia. Thirty‐eight healthy individuals (50% women, mean age = 25.7, SD = 5.3) completed the Pain Catastrophizing Scale (PCS), then underwent topical application of ...
