Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 forced changes in employment practices of most organizations, including the elimination of discriminatory hiring practices and the promotion of diversity and equal opportunity. This event had a significant impact on the development of I/O psychology in the U.S., emphasizing the importance of fairness, diversity, and equal treatment in the workplace. While other events listed (World Wars I and II, formation of the Society for Industrial and Organizational Psychology, passage of the Americans with Disabilities Act) may have influenced I/O psychology to some extent, none had the same direct and far-reaching impact as the Civil Rights Act.
