"All 67 department in the sample which between 1895-1948 had granted at least 1 doctorate in psychology were analyzed by type of university control, geographic location, and length of time doctorates in psychology had been granted. Departments whose doctorates in psychology filled their predicted share or more than their share of positions of recognition were scored a plus, while departments whose doctorates filled less than their share, or no positions, were given a minus." A 3-page table of doctorates by department (1884-1948) achieving positions of professional recognition is provided.
