I am not enrolling in a PhD in Quantitative Psychology but,my best friend is and he is starting in the fall and I am just curious about the career aspects of it. I know that Quantitative psychology is the study of methods and techniques for the measurement of human attributes, the statistical and mathematical modeling of psychological processes, the design of research studies and the analysis of psychological data. Quantitative psychology is central to all aspects of psychology: science, education, public interest and practice. This essential role of quantitative psychology is reflected in the fact that Division 5 — Evaluation, Measurement and Statistics — is one of the Charter Divisions of the APA. Quantitative psychology includes research and development in a number of broad areas: measurement, research design and statistical analysis (see Aiken, West, Sechrest, & Reno, 1990), as well as mathematical and statistical modeling of psychological processes. Within each of these areas, quantitative psychologists develop new methodologies; they also evaluate existing methodologies to examine their behavior under conditions that exist in psychological data (e.g., with small samples). This work supports the substantive research of all areas within psychology. I am just curious and he was unclear about what people with this degree do but, he was excited about it.
