Welcome to METRO!

The Metropolitan New York Association for Applied Psychology (METRO) was founded in 1939 as a not-for-profit professional association. We are the oldest and largest local professional association of applied psychologists in the U.S. METRO also takes pride in serving as a role model for other applied psychology organizations now operating in Chicago, Houston, Washington, D.C., Southern California, and Arizona. We look back over the years with gratitude to our numerous colleagues -- our members, distinguished speakers, and officers -- all of whom contributed their time, energy, and expertise to make METRO the dynamic organization it is today.

Call for Research Participants

The study is for my graduate thesis on corporate psychopathy at John Jay College of Criminal Justice. I am investigating the potential relationship between Robert Blair's Violence Inhibition Model of psychopathy and Icek Ajzen's Theory of Planned Behavior. Blair's theory posits that those with elevated primary psychopathic traits base their decision to transgress primarily on perceived consequences to themselves more so than on possible harm to others and Ajzen's theory suggests that intentions to behave (or misbehave) are informed more so by ones attitudes and available resources than by rules and regulations regarding that behavior.

I am looking for about 100 participants who are actively employed in assorted positions in for-profit companies. I am open to the entire sample coming from one company or many participants from different companies. Participants would complete three pen and paper measures and one computer based measure. The study should last under an hour.
These measures can all be converted to an online format if the need be.
