A 10-year longitudinal study of scientists and practitioner interests in psychology: Assessing the Boulder model.

How stable are the practice and research interests of psychologists, and what does that stability indicate about the discipline of psychology? This article examines scientist and practitioner interests over a 10-year period, showing that scientist and practitioner interests have temporal stability and that 1989 interests can predict 1999 behaviors. It also suggests that what is really taught in doctoral programs is not always reflected in what programs claim to teach. Some of the disagreement about training might be more productive if the accreditation process allowed programs to be more honest with respect to their educational goals.
