Use of Graduate Study in Psychology as a data source.

Comments on an article by C. M. Stoup and L. T. Benjamin, Jr. (see record 1983-24200-001), in which they used various editions of Graduate Study in Psychology, published by the American Psychological Association (APA), to report the GPAs and Graduate Record Examination scores of master's and doctoral students across various areas of psychology. It is cautioned that the use of Graduate Study in Psychology as a data source calls for skepticism, as there is sufficient reason to question some of the data that are submitted to the APA by psychology departments.
