Introductory lecture to operational psychology master course

In the spring semester of 2014, we started offering a master's course in Operational psychology. I was responsible for the course, but used extensive guest lecturers, where experts in each respective field was asked to cover a topic. The course topics were:

  1. Introduction to the field of Human Factors (me)
  2. Operative cooperation, leadership and communication (Roar Espevik)
  3. Cognitive processes in operative settings (me)
  4. Individual differences in operative situations (Paul Bartone)
  5. Care of personnel after critical incidents (Jarle Eid)
  6. Human error and accident causes (Kathryn Mearns)
Below is my introductory lecture (in Norwegian). The lecture localized the field of Human Factors within the rest of psychology, and discussed it's history, topics, methods, and gave samples from research and application (including an overview of our research group).
