Example text
W o r k The study of work has been a primary focus of engineering psychology since the beginning. Work in this context can be taken in its physical meaning of applying force, in a more cognitive meaning of mental effort, and in its economic meaning of earning a living. All of these connotations have been of interest to researchers and there is a sizable literature relating to each. Much attention has been given to determining the types and amounts of force a human being can apply without unreasonable risk of injury or serious discomfort.
