* US News and World Report (2009) provides an overall rating of 161 psychology Ph.D. programs on a 5-point scale.
* The National Research Council (1995) of the National Academy of Sciences provides an overall rating of 185 psychology Ph.D. programs.
* Gourman (1997) provides an overall rating of 40 top psychology Ph.D. programs on a 5-point scale.
* Schools were included on the list if they were listed among the top 30 by any one source.
* The ratings of these 35 schools by these three sources are very positively correlated.
o USN - NCR, r = .86
o USN - Gourman, r = .82
o NCR - Gourman, r = .87
* A factor analysis based on all three sources was used to derive the composite scores.
