Fun site that mentions the failure to "follow human factor principles." Where are they? Next to each example should be a note about what psych law or principle was violated. Is there a list of established laws and principles in this field? They probably just mean 'common sense' and user-friendly ideas eh? On a related note, do TIPS folks encounter many/any students interested in this area? I am hosting our annual Grad School/Career Prep seminar next week and I try to encourage students to appreciate the wide range of Psychology career options. Gary G.L.
