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

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