Proposal Submission and Review
Division 5 is pleased to present a stellar program for the 2014 APA convention. The program includes three invited addresses (one from each section of Division 5) and a presidential address by Keith Widaman. These sessions were automatically accept-ed, while the remaining sessions underwent a review process.
The division received 72 individual pro-posals (posters and papers), which is a decrease from 120 from last year; we also received 11 symposium proposals, which is an increase from 9 from last year. Note
that the Society for Qualitative Inquiry in Psychology (SQIP) section has been added to Division 5, and in turn, qualitative and mixed-methods contributions figured prominently in the submission pool.
Reviewers were obtained from the e-mail list available through the APA reviewing system; qualitative reviewers were also recruited through SQIP, and these names will be added to the APA list of reviewers. Through these efforts, 72 reviewers volun-teered and completed their reviews. Based on the results of these reviews, 63 posters and eight symposia were accepted. We greatly appreciate the reviewers’ efforts. Their dedication enabled us to maintain the high standard of programming that has become synonymous with Division 5.

In addition, where appropriate and space permits, short articles (800–1000 words) on technical issues and professional activities of Division 5 members, or on topics of current interest may be accepted. Brief announcements and calls for presentations related to conferences or meetings of particular interest to Division 5 members may also qualify. Submissions should be sent to The Score Editor, David Herzberg: [email protected].
Submission deadlines are one month prior to publication: March 1 for the April issue, June 1 for July, September 1 for October, and December 1 for January.
The Score is published solely online and distributed via e-mail notification. Division 5 members receive the e-mail notice through the Division 5 DIV5ANN email listserv (see the box below).

E-mail ListsKeep up with the latest Division 5 news through its two e-mail listservs.
diV5 serves as a vehicle for discussion among members on topics related to evaluation, measurement, statistics, assessment, and qualitative inquiry.
diV5ANN is used exclusively for announcements from Division leadership regarding issues such as elections, calls for nomination to boards and committees, the convention program, or policy changes. Ths is a “one-way” listserv that does not support listwide replies (that is, it is not structured to support discussion). All members have been added to the listserv, and new members are added as they join. We strongly encourage all members to remain on the listserv in order to receive the newsletter and other important division news. We promise to keep the number of messages to a minimum.
To subscribe to the discussion list, [email protected], send a message to [email protected]. Leave the Subject line blank. In the body of the e-mail, include the following:

Vote on division 5 Name Change
Current Fellows, Members, and Voting Associates (5 or more years of membership) are being sent emails to vote on a proposed name change for Division 5. The first message went out on May 15, and weekly reminders will be going out until voting closes on July 15. Please check your email for a message, and be sure to check your junk mail. Each message will come from APA Division 5 ([email protected]), and the subject line will be “Vote on Division 5 Name Change.”
Note that Professional Affiliates, International Affiliates, and Student Affiliates are not eligible to vote.
The Executive Committee of Division 5 has resolved to conduct a vote on changing the name of the division to Division of Quantitative and Qualitative Methods. If passed by the membership and approved by other relevant bodies, this name change would be reflected throughout the division bylaws and in all communications by and for our division. Our bylaws require a vote by members, fellows, and voting associates of Division 5 for a name change to be approved. In addition, the name change will be reviewed by the APA Council of Representatives and existing divisions before it becomes effective.
The justification for the proposed change in division name is the need for a name that reflects the various interests of the membership and is therefore inclusive of all objectives of the Division. The current name – Division of Evaluation, Measurement, and Statistics – is the name of one of the three divisional sections, the other two sections being Assessment and the Society for Qualitative Inquiry in Psychology. The Executive Committee sought to propose a new division name that does not overlap with another APA division, is succinct, and is unifying – and that describes the common focus of all three Division 5 sections. Guided by these criteria and benefitting from input from an ad hoc committee on the divisional name change, the Executive Committee reviewed several proposed name changes at its March 2014 mid-year meeting.
The Executive Committee voted unanimously to conduct a vote of divisional members, fellows, and voting associates on changing the name to Division of Quantitative and Qualitative Methods. The name change would not affect our primary mission or our key activities or initiatives. Our membership engagement and role within APA will stay the same.
Voting will close at 12:00 midnight EDT on July 15, 2014.
Thank you for your support and for taking the time to vote on this important issue.

The April 2014 issue of The Score included a report on the COR agenda items pertaining to the Good Governance Project (GGP) that were dealt with during the February 2014 meeting. Therefore, the present report covers only those agenda items that pertain to matters other than the GGP and its planned implementation. The Implementation Working Group (IWG) formed after the August 2013 meeting, in col-laboration with a working group on the Authorities Matrix formed by current APA President Nadine Kaslow, is continuing to work on various aspects of the GGP to be discussed in the August meeting of the COR. Look for a report on those discussions in the October 2014 issue of The Score.
Financial Matters
• Financial health report: As of 2013, APA’s total assets were $267 million, compared to $239 million at the end of 2012; its real estate holdings are worth approximately $108 million. Its investment portfolio of $91 million has shown a 30% increase since 2009. APA’s net assets are $67 million and its bond rating is BBB+.
• The 2014 proposed budget (approved at the meeting with 97% of the vote in favor) showed total operational revenues of $110,542,911 and total expenses of $109,092,967 for a positive margin of $1,449,945. Comparable figures for the revised 2013 budget are revenues of $107,301,353, expenses of $105,647,329 and margin of $1,654,024.
• A 3% raise in the honorarium for members of the Board of Directors (BoD) was approved by a vote of 95% yes, 2% no, and 3% undecided.
• With a highly unusual vote of 100% in favor, Council reauthorized support for the Center for the History of Psychology at the University of Akron for an additional three years (2014-2016) and approved the inclusion of $60,000 in the 2014 budget for this purpose.
• Council designated $325,000 over a three-year period to support the creation of APA’s online centralized application system for graduate education in psychology. The vote was 93% in favor and 5% against.
• Council approved setting aside in a designated fund the amount of $6,500,000 that APA received under the terms of the revision to its agreement with the APA Insurance Trust (APAIT). The vote was 97% in favor of this action.
• Council authorized the use of designated funds in the amount of $285,900—of which $72,000 was previously approved by Council—to cover the costs of implementation of the GGP in 2013 and 2014. The vote on this item was 82% yes, 15% no, and 3% abstain.
• Council delegated to the BoD authority to make decisions regarding the reimbursement of COR members for their attendance at Council meetings, by a vote of 94% in favor, 4% against and 2% abstaining.
other Matters
• Council spent two hours in small group discussions of the ways in which the Affordable Care Act will affect psychology and psychologists. The groups discussed both the opportunities that the law creates for the discipline, as well as the lack of recognition in the law for the contributions that psychology can make to integrated health care.
• Council attended a diversity training program on transgender issues and the concept of cisgenderism, which is defined as the system that privileges gender binary classification.
• Council was presented with data about the impact of funding of programs to develop APA-accredited internships. The number of accredited internships increased from 2361 in 2012 to 2588 in 2014. The gap between students who were not matched with an internship site and the positions that were not filled was also lower than usual. For 2014 these numbers were 810 unmatched and 328 internship positions unfilled; in 2012 these numbers were 1041 and 222.
• The motion to adopt an association-wide definition of an Early Career Psychologist (ECP) as within ten years of the doctorate was approved (96% yes, 3% no, and 1% abstaining).

Consent Agenda items
In addition, as part of its consent agenda, which requires no discus-sion or voting, the council:
• Endorsed a document entitled Multidisciplinary Compe-tencies in the Care of Older Adults at the Completion of the Entry-level Health Professional Degree, developed by the Partnership for Health in Aging, of which APA is a member. The document is designed to guide multiple health professions in understanding the competencies needed to provide care to older adults.
• Received the Report of the Task Force on Trafficking of Women and Girls. The report’s aim is to raise awareness among psychologists and the public about human traf-ficking; make recommendations to enhance research, education and training; and urge psychologists to apply scientific research and expertise to influence public policy and enhance services to survivors of trafficking.
• Approved the revised Principles for the Recognition of Proficiencies in Professional Psychology.
• Received the report Assessing and Evaluating Teacher Preparation Programs. The report calls for the use of valid and efficient tools in the measurement of teacher prepa-ration programs and teacher effectiveness. Such teacher evaluations should be grounded in well-established sci-entific methods that have evolved within the psychology discipline, according to the report authors.
• Approved the document Health Service Psychology: Preparing Competent Practitioners. This first-of-its-kind policy describes the competencies that a psychologist working in a health delivery setting should possess. Such a document is critical to ensuring quality in training and good health services outcomes as psychology continues its move from a primary focus on mental health to a broad focus on a range of health problems, according to the document authors.

For doctoral students in clinical psychology, the final hurdle of the graduate program can be the most taxing. This capstone event is the Association of Psychology Postdoctoral and Internship Centers (APPIC) match process, through which graduate student applicants are placed into predoctoral internship positions. For me, the APPIC match process loomed large from the first year of graduate school. Now that I have completed the APPIC match for 2014, I am enthusiastic about explain-ing how this process unfolds, as well as the toll it can take on participants.
In 2011, applicants described the match process as “anxiety provoking,” “unfair,” “incredibly trying,” “horrifying,” “cut-throat,” and “dev-astating” (“Internship supply demand,” 2012). Although these descriptors sound extreme, I can understand why applicants would react this way.
The APPIC process begins by registering for the match and applying for predoctoral internships through the APPIC website. After this, the waiting game begins: applicants wait for internship sites to offer them interviews. Then come the actual interviews, which can be daylong, intensive and exhaust-ing. Students are encouraged to apply to many sites across the United States, because casting a wide net increases one’s chances of matching. This creates a financial problem for many students, because of the expense of travel.
After the interviews, applicants submit a rank-ordered list of their preferred internship sites to the National Matching Service, which is the company that oversees the match on behalf of APPIC. A computer algorithm handles the matching of applicants to sites. On a set date in February (this year it was February 21st), emails are
Surviving (and Thriving in) the APPiC Match Process
sent out with match results. Applicants who did not match have the option of reapplying for unfilled internship positions in a second phase of matching.
While this process in and of itself would be anxi-ety provoking, the APPIC match is particularly daunting because there are not enough positions to match all applicants. In the 2014 match, 366 doctoral students did not achieve a match (AP-PIC match statistics, 2014). Students who are left unmatched are forced to search for unaccredited placements, or delay graduating another year while they build their vitae.
While the 2014 match statistics have reportedly improved from last year, the situation is still far from optimal. Students must complete a predoc-toral internship in order to obtain their doctorate. Hence, the current imbalance between positions and applicants is troubling, because it delays or halts qualified individuals from obtaining the de-gree that they have worked so very dutifully for.
I am grateful to say that I matched to my first choice during Phase 1 of the process. Even with this favorable outcome, I can offer some insight into the emotional riptide that the match process creates for students. I began working on my applications during my third year, and had at least five professors and colleagues proofread everything that I wrote. In 2014, the average number of applications submit-ted was 11.9 (this number has been steadily rising for the past few years, due to the increasing awareness on the part of students and programs about the internship-applicant imbalance) (APPIC match statistics, 2014). I submitted 18 applications, primarily because my graduate program (Marywood University) is fairly new and small. Hence I felt like I was at a slight disadvantage when compared to applicants from established, well-known institutions. After I sub-mitted my applications, I held mock interviews with fellow graduate

students, and wrote extensive hypothetical interview questions and practiced answering them.
I received seven invitations to interview. Because I have a medi-cal condition that rules out flying at this time, I drove from Penn-sylvania, to New Jersey, to Virginia, to Chicago, to Indiana, to Minnesota, and back to Pennsylvania. The entire process took about two weeks, and included around 4,000 miles of driving. In between interviewing and driving, I was completing my course-work through email, and participating in online supervision for my clinical work. I was also on the phone with my fellow applicants at various points, sharing stories and emotional support. We felt that only others who were going through the same process could understand the stress it created.
After interviews, the rank-ordered lists were submitted, and my fellow applicants and I waited anxiously for night before match. On this night, we gathered together for a sleepless vigil. As the night turned to morning, we began to repeatedly refresh our emails, watching subject lines with hawk-like intent, waiting for the email with the heading “APPIC MATCH RESULTS” to appear. I hap-pened to receive my email first stating that I had, indeed, matched. Luckily, my friends received their results within minutes after I received mine. Even more luckily, all seven of us matched. We all felt a profound sense of relief!
Now, I believe in putting in effort and hard work for a goal that, by its very nature, should be difficult (like receiving one’s doctoral degree). However, the process that I just described clearly surpasses the notion of putting in hard work to achieve one’s dream. The match process is grueling, yes, but the more problematic piece is that hard work only seems to pay off for roughly 70% of the stu-dents. Additionally, the huge financial cost of the match process
renders participation impossible for some.
As I stated before, this system needs significant changes. Proposed solutions include reducing the number of students enrolled in APA-accredited doctoral programs in clinical psychology, to ad-dress the oversupply of students for available internship positions. Others have suggested that graduate programs develop their own unaccredited internship programs. Yet another option is increasing the amount of internship positions available in each site (Berger, 2011). Because I have been through the match and experienced success, I feel a need to contribute to the collective conversation among APA members about the process. Hence I plan to compose a joint letter along with my fellow applicants from Marywood to the APPIC board of directors calling for improvement in the system. My hope is that offering my insight and opinion will contribute to the efforts that are currently being taken to improve the match experience for future applicants.
