Doctoral student selection in one professional psychology program.
The determinants of the selection decision for applicants (N = 239) to one clinical Doctor of Psychology program during a 3-year period were examined, and relationships among selection variables measured at the time of application and program performance variables measured 2 years later for those matriculated were determined. Results and discussion also illuminate the determinants of ratings made of applicants based on reading written application materials and determinants of ratings made of applicants based on personal interviews. Recommendations for selection procedures in similar practitioner-oriented clinical psychology doctoral programs and for future research are offered.
