Abstract
The present research evaluated the language used in I-O psychology research in popular journals for I-O psychology researchers. Coders assessed articles from the 2017 volume. Results indicate that 30% of articles that used causal language used it incorrectly. Recommendations are made regarding improvement of using causal language in research.
