EHAP Speaker Series:Psychological Mismatch at Work
Stephen Colarelli, Ph.D., Central Michigan University
Are we “mismatched” to the modern world, particularly to the modern world of work? Does our evolved psychology still remain primarily adapted to life as hunter-gatherers? Although mismatch has commonly been associated with negative outcomes, it can have positive outcomes as well. In this talk, I explore the concept of psychological mismatch—what it is, what it is not, and its positive and negative effects. I illustrate some of the beneficial, harmful, and perplexing effects of mismatch with examples from research on natural views, animals, and friendship at work.
