$1,602,785 in itemized individual contributions is the 2012-cycle join for the occupation grouping Psychologist. FEC.gov aggregates count 937 contributions from 226 donors. The occupation’s all-cycle total is $26,651,726, so this presidential-year cell is about 6.0% of the lifetime bucket — the same professional-title string as other Psychologist cycle pages, crossed here with 2012 rather than with a midterm.
Key figures
- $1,602,785 joins the Psychologist occupation grouping to the 2012 FEC cycle.
- 937 contributions from 226 donors produced that cell.
- 2012 is about 6.0% of the grouping’s $26,651,726 lifetime total.
- The title is self-reported; this join is 2012 only, not the occupation hub.
Psychologist × 2012, a different window than 2014
The occupation hub for Psychologist is every cycle stacked, totaling $26,651,726. Each cycle still gets its own relationship page. This one is 2012: $1,602,785 from 937 itemized gifts and 226 unique donors. It is not the 2014 cell, and it is not the hub.
Average contribution is about $1,711; average per donor is about $7,092. Compared with a midterm cell for the same string, 2012 shows more unique donors (226) and a lower per-donor mean. That is a description of two table rows, not a finding about clinical practice.
The string is self-reported. Psychiatrist and therapist remain other buckets if stored separately.
Six percent of the occupation’s lifetime stack
$1,602,785 divided by $26,651,726 is about 6.0%. Other two-year windows hold about 94%. A presidential year can raise occupation-cell volume without making 2012 the title’s main FEC chapter.
The industry page is the place to line 2012 up next to other Psychologist cycle cells. This tie only certifies the 2012 arithmetic and its share of the published lifetime total.

Questions
- How much did Psychologist-labeled donors give in 2012?
- The Psychologist grouping’s 2012 cell is $1,602,785 in itemized individual contributions, from 937 contributions and 226 donors, per FEC.gov aggregates. That is the occupation-cycle join, not a PAC total and not the $26,651,726 all-cycle occupation total.
- Is this the same as the Psychologist 2014 page?
- No. Both pages share the same occupation grouping and the same lifetime total of $26,651,726, but the cycle keys differ. 2012 is $1,602,785 from 226 donors; other cycle pages have their own cells. This join is only the 2012 overlap.
- Does this count only licensed psychologists?
- No. The bucket is the self-reported occupation string Psychologist. The FEC does not verify licenses. Related titles may sit in other groupings. The overlay lists itemized rows for this cell; the industry hub holds other cycles; the cycle hub holds other employer strings from the same window.
- Do these gifts fund federal health programs?
- No. These figures are FEC individual contribution aggregates. Federal awards appear in USAspending. This page does not claim that campaign gifts funded those awards. The overlay lists itemized rows for this cell; the industry hub holds other cycles; the cycle hub holds other employer strings from the same window.
