Following our definition of quantative psychology, we began our resource analysis by developing a list of the Ph.D. concentrations in quantitative psychology that are housed in Departments of Psychology. We used a number of sources to develop the list:

  1. A list of training programs in quantitative methods developed by APA Division 5, Evaluation, Measurement, and Statistics. In March, 2005, Division 5 undertook the project of creating a list of training programs in quantitative methods, to include programs in psychology and education. Division 5 made a call for program identification from the listserv of its members.
     
  2. Graduate Study in Psychology, 2007. The Task Force received an advance copy of Graduate Study 2007 in July, 2006. From this we culled all programs indexed under “Quantitative Psychology/Psychometrics.” A number of well recognized quantitative Ph.D. programs were not listed in the index. We reviewed the actual narratives of individual departments in the Graduate Study in Psychology, 2007 book to determine whether these departments listed a quantitative concentration.
     
  3. Departmental websites. We reviewed websites of departments that historically had had a quantitative concentration but were not identified by the above sources.
     
  4. Self-identified programs in a survey by Aiken, West, and Millsap (2007). Aiken et al (2007) had carried out a survey of the quantitative curriculum of all Ph.D. programs in North America, with data collection completed in 1999 and with an 86% response rate. In that survey departments were asked whether they had Ph.D. programs in any area of quantitative methods. In fall, 2006, we reviewed the websites of all programs which had answered affirmatively to determine whether the quantitative programs still existed. We also contacted quantitative faculty in those departments to determine whether the programs were still functioning.
