On Dr. Patrick McCarthy’s Brief Outline of the History of I/O Psychology , it says:
The term ‘industrial psychology’ first appeared in a 1904 article of [William Lowe] Bryan’s APA [presidential] address. Ironically, it appeared in print only as a typographical error. Bryan was quoting a sentence he had written five years earlier in which he spoke of the need for more research in individual psychology. Instead, Bryan wrote industrial psychology and did not catch his mistake.
McCarthy attributes this finding to “Muchinsky, 1997, p. 10.” Although I have found several books and articles by Paul M. Muchinsky on industrial psychology, I have not been able to find one from 1997 containing a p. 10. I have tried to contact Dr. McCarthy without luck. Can anyone point me to the relevant Muchinsky publication?

It could, of course, be used for all kinds of things, but I started playing with the names of famous psychologists from the past. See if you can figure these out:

According to the “ Today in the History of Psychology ” website, the first U.S. eugenic sterilization law was enacted by the Indiana legislature on March 9, 1907. “The law provided for sterilization of ‘confirmed criminals, idiots, imbeciles, and rapists.’” Indiana was not the first US state to attempt a compulsory sterilization law. A bill was introduced in the Michigan legislature in 1897 but failed to pass. Pennsylvania legislators passed a steriliza...
