V. FAQ About This List
Q: Who compiles this list?
A: The APA Division 5 Web Editor.
Q: How is the list organized?
A: The list is divided into psychology/human development and
education/educational psychology. Within each of these broad
categories, listings are alphabetical. Universities with state
names
are alphabetized by state name. Universities with the same state
name are listed alphabetically by city name. Other universities
are alphabetized by
the university's name. The table of contents includes
alphabetical
links that take you to the first program listed by that letter.
Q: What criteria are used to
determine list inclusion?
A: Programs located in the United States of America or Canada offering
a Doctoral
degree in psychometrics, quantitative methods, or a related
field. Self identification by the programs in question determines
what specifically counts as psychometrics, quantitative methods, or a
related field.
Q: How do the different types of
programs differ?
A: Every program has its own unique approach. Broadly speaking,
psychometrics focuses on measurement of psychological variables.
Quantitative psychology focuses on statistical modeling of
psychological processes. Evaluation focuses on the research aimed
at assessing the success of some activity such as an educational
program or service provision. Research design focuses on data
collection rather than data analysis. Research methods offers the
most general rubric which can encompass all or any of the above.
Check individual program web pages for descriptions of each program's
emphasis.
Q: Does APA Division 5 evaluate the
programs listed?
A: No. We provide the list for information purposes only.
Q: Is the list complete and
up-to-date?
A: While every effort is made to maintain a complete and up-to-date
list, this is by no means guaranteed. Individual programs are
encouraged to keep their listings up-to-date by providing listing
information.
Q: How do I submit changes or
additions to the list?
A: Send changes to Keith Markus at kmarkus@aol.com.
Q: How do I apply to programs on the
list?
A: Check individual program web pages for admissions and application
information.
Q: When do I apply?
A: Most programs admit students once a year with classes beginning in
September or there about. Application deadlines typically range
from October to February with admissions decisions typically made
during the spring. Check individual program web pages for
individual application deadlines.
Q: Who may apply?
A: Most Ph.D. programs require an undergraduate degree or overseas
equivalent. Ph.D. programs generally do not require a Master's
degree and many students apply directly from their undergraduate
program. Most programs do not require that the undergraduate
degree specialize in psychology, although many require certain
undergraduate courses. Check individual program web pages for
detailed requirements of that program.
Q: Why is this list here?
A: Michael Edwards and Linda Collins independently suggested the list
in a session on attracting students to quantitative psychology at the
2005 APA Convention. The initial thinking was that the list would
include 12-13 programs but this quickly grew to 12-13 pages. The
aim
is to provide basic contact information in a centralized place as a
helpful resource to students seeking to apply to programs in
psychometrics, quantitative psychology, and related areas.
Q: Why do the email addresses not
have links?
A: Please visit the program web page before contacting the program with
questions. Once you determine that you wish to contact the
program,
choose judiciously between email, telephone, and regular mail.
The
listings on this page include email addresses along with other contact
information but do not include email links in and effort to minimize
impulse email messages. Simply copy and paste the email address
into your email editor.
Q: Why does the list not include
Psy.D. programs?
A: Short answer: There are none. Long answer: Psy.D.
programs generally emphasize the practice of psychology over research
skills. Programs in quantitative psychology, psychometrics,
research methods, evaluation, and related areas generally emphasize
research skills.
