Psychologist political money in the 2010 cycle
$726,292 in itemized individual contributions is the FEC.gov join between the occupation PSYCHOLOGIST and the 2010 election cycle. That cell covers 1,060 contributions from 526 donors. The occupation’s all-cycle total is $32,154,906, so 2010 is 2.3% of the labeled roll. This page is the occupation-and-cycle match, not a state psychology-board roster or medical advice.

Psychologist as occupation, 2010 as the cycle
Two FEC fields define the cell: occupation PSYCHOLOGIST and election cycle 2010. Matching rows sum to $726,292, 1,060 contributions, and 526 donors. PSYCHOLOGIST is a clinical spelling. FEC.gov does not verify doctoral degrees or licensure. The occupation hub is $32,154,906 across every cycle in the aggregate. The 2010 cycle hub mixes every other occupation that used that year. Neither hub restates this intersection; this tie page exists because the two dimensions meet.
2010’s dollar share is 2.3% ($726,292 of $32,154,906). The remainder, $31,428,614, sits in other cycles on the occupation hub. 1,060 lines from 526 donors is a broad midterm cell, but only 2.3% of this occupation’s all-cycle roll. Correlation between a job title and a two-year FEC window is a reporting overlap, not causation of an election outcome. Itemized individual receipts are the coverage. Unitemized money never appears in $726,292.
A large Psychologist roll with many other years
$32,154,906 is the occupation-side denominator. It is not limited to 2010. Psychotherapist, Therapist, and Clinical Psychologist are other occupation keys if stored separately. Adding those keys to $32,154,906 would be a researcher-built recode, not this table. Occupation labels are filer-entered on itemized individual receipts.
Open Psychologist donations for the $32,154,906 roll. Open the 2010 election cycle hub for every occupation in that window. All occupations and All FEC ties place this pair beside other occupation-cycle pages without combining dollar figures. Most Psychologist-coded money sits outside 2010. Quote the year cell and the all-cycle roll as two different objects.
526 donors and a sub-thousand mean gift
Dividing $726,292 by 1,060 contributions yields about $685 per gift. Dividing by 526 donors yields about $1,381 per donor. Gifts per donor average about 2.0 (1,060 ÷ 526). Those ratios describe this string in 2010, not payroll at firms that employ people with similar titles.
526 is a donor-key count inside the occupation × cycle aggregate, not a headcount of everyone who held the job in 2010. Repeat itemization, couples filing separately, and people who used the string on some receipts but not others all move the 526 figure. The cycle hub still holds every other occupation’s 2010 receipts beside this cell.
What 2.3% of Psychologist-coded dollars is not
A 2.3% share of Psychologist-coded dollars from 2010 does not mean the occupation caused those gifts, and it does not mean people with that title funded a policy outcome. Occupation and cycle are reported together. The overlap is descriptive. Independent expenditures, committee-to-committee transfers, and unitemized gifts are out of scope.
Federal awards on USAspending.gov are a different ledger. This join does not claim that 2010 donations funded contracts or grants. Quote $726,292 as itemized individual receipts tagged PSYCHOLOGIST in 2010, source FEC.gov, and stop there.
How to cite Psychologist × 2010
A complete claim names Psychologist and 2010, then $726,292, 1,060 contributions, 526 donors, and 2.3% of $32,154,906, source FEC.gov. Do not convert 526 keys into licensed or employed practitioners. Do not fold independent expenditures or USAspending awards into the cell. Keep both sides of the name—Psychologist and 2010—whenever the dollars are quoted. Mean gift $685 and mean per donor $1,381 travel with those counts; they do not travel with a licensing board.
Occupation hub, 2010 hub, and Psychotherapist as a sibling
The occupation hub still holds $31,428,614 outside 2010. Most of the $32,154,906 roll is not this cycle’s cell. This page isolates the overlap for readers who need both the title and the year, not either hub restated. Psychotherapist, Therapist, and Clinical Psychologist are other occupation keys if stored separately. Those titles are not parents of PSYCHOLOGIST on this page. Gifts per donor in 2010 average about 2.0. That ratio is 1,060 divided by 526, not a measure of turnout.
