Psychologist occupation money in the 2008 FEC cycle

Psychologist as occupation, 2008 as cycle

Two keys define this page. One is the occupation string PSYCHOLOGIST. The other is the 2008 federal election cycle. The match is $1,981,313, built from 2,673 contributions and 1,220 unique donors. Drop either key and the number changes. 2008 is a presidential-year FEC window. 2,673 contributions from 1,220 donors is moderate repeat itemization inside the cycle filter.

The join is a filter pair, not a causal story. PSYCHOLOGIST is the occupation string. Psychiatrist and therapist remain separate. The 2008 join does not verify doctoral degrees or licenses. Association PACs are not inside this occupation-cycle filter. Independent expenditures, unitemized gifts, and committee-to-committee transfers are outside $1,981,313. FEC individual receipts are not USAspending.gov awards; this page does not treat campaign gifts as federal spending.

6.2% of $32,154,906 is $1,981,313. That arithmetic uses only the occupation total and the cycle total in this packet. It is not a forecast and not a party split. Recipient committees may be anywhere; cycle is the FEC even-year window, not the donor’s state.

PSYCHOLOGIST is not a sibling title

Psychologist donations is the occupation hub: $32,154,906 ($32.2 million) across cycles from filers who typed PSYCHOLOGIST. Sibling strings (PSYCHIATRIST, THERAPIST, and COUNSELOR) are not merged here. The occupation total is not an APA membership roll, a state-board licensee file, or a psychology PAC.

The 2008 cycle filter on Psychologist receipts

The 2008 election cycle hub holds itemized individual receipts for every occupation coded to that even-year window. This tie keeps only Psychologist. $1,981,313 is therefore not a cycle-wide total. FEC.gov labels this even-year federal window 2008. It is not a 2010 midterm filter and not a later presidential cycle.

2,673 contributions from 1,220 donors is moderate repeat itemization inside the cycle filter. About 2.2 itemized rows per donor is a filing ratio. Mean per receipt about $741; mean per donor about $1,624. Those means are arithmetic on the 2008 cell only. The packet has no median, no party split, and no employer table. Unitemized federal gifts never enter $1,981,313. Three numbers define the Psychologist × 2008 cell: dollars $1,981,313, contribution rows 2,673, unique donors 1,220. Share of occupation dollars is 6.2% of $32,154,906.

What the Psychologist–2008 join is not

Matching Psychologist with 2008 does not measure influence, does not assign party, and does not say Psychologist donors caused an electoral result. Correlation between an occupation string and a cycle is not causation. The table is also not an APA membership roll, a state-board licensee file, or a psychology PAC.

Itemized individual contributions from FEC.gov only. Independent expenditures, unitemized gifts, and state-office campaigns are excluded. Occupation labels are filer-entered. PSYCHOLOGIST is the occupation string. Psychiatrist and therapist remain separate. The 2008 join does not verify doctoral degrees or licenses. Association PACs are not inside this occupation-cycle filter. Campaign gifts and federal awards remain separate public records. This page does not claim that $1,981,313 funded USAspending obligations.

Linked Psychologist and 2008 tables

Psychologist donations holds the $32,154,906 occupation total. The 2008 election cycle page holds every occupation in that window, not only Psychologist. All occupations places PSYCHOLOGIST beside other titles without merging sibling strings (PSYCHIATRIST, THERAPIST, and COUNSELOR). All FEC ties lists other occupation-cycle pairs so $1,981,313 is not added to a different year.

Use the occupation hub for all-cycle Psychologist dollars ($32,154,906). Use the 2008 cycle hub for the even-year window across titles. Use this tie for the intersection only: $1,981,313, 2,673 contributions, 1,220 donors, 6.2% of occupation dollars. Those four internal links are the only hrefs this copy may use.

Psychologist 2008 as a dollar-share slice

2008 accounts for 6.2% of the Psychologist occupation total ($1,981,313 of $32,154,906). Most Psychologist-coded dollars sit in other FEC cycles. $2.0 million is the same fact as $1,981,313 rounded to one decimal million, not a second extract. Do not add PSYCHIATRIST dollars into $1,981,313.

Researchers who need employer text or recipient committees should leave this join and open the Psychologist donations table. The 2008 cycle page is the even-year inventory. FEC.gov remains the controlling filing if extracts diverge.
