Psychologist political contributions in the 2012 FEC cycle

$2,071,367 as the Psychologist–2012 headline

Psychologist in 2012 is $2,071,367 on 2,767 itemized lines from 1,177 people in the unique-donor roll-up. 2012 accounts for 6.4% of the Psychologist occupation total ($2,071,367 of $32,154,906). Most Psychologist-coded dollars sit in other FEC cycles. FEC.gov individual contribution aggregates, grouped by self-reported occupation and election cycle, are the source.

2,767 contributions from 1,177 donors is moderate repeat itemization inside the cycle filter. Unique-donor count collapses multiple gifts by the same person inside this occupation-cycle pair. It does not verify that those 1,177 people still used that title after 2012.

This page is not a restatement of the Psychologist hub or of the 2012 cycle hub. The occupation hub is every cycle. The cycle hub is every occupation. The tie is the intersection: $2,071,367.

Psychologist across cycles versus this 2012 slice

Filers who typed psychologist produced the all-cycle occupation total of $32,154,906. PSYCHOLOGIST is the occupation string. Psychiatrist and therapist remain separate. The join does not verify doctoral degrees or licenses. Association PACs are not inside this occupation-cycle filter. The occupation is not an APA membership roll, a state-board licensee file, or a psychology PAC.

Psychologist itemization inside the 2012 FEC window

The 2012 election cycle hub holds itemized individual receipts for every occupation coded to that even-year window. This tie keeps only Psychologist. $2,071,367 is therefore not a cycle-wide total. FEC.gov labels this even-year federal window 2012. It is not a 2010 or 2014 midterm-year filter.

2,767 contributions from 1,177 donors is moderate repeat itemization inside the cycle filter. The page does not publish an average gift. $2,071,367, 2,767, and 1,177 are the three cycle-side facts. Unitemized federal gifts never enter $2,071,367. Committee disbursements and independent expenditures are a different FEC schedule and are not a second way to count $2,071,367. Three numbers define the Psychologist × 2012 cell: dollars $2,071,367, contribution rows 2,767, unique donors 1,177. Share of occupation dollars is 6.4% of $32,154,906.

Occupation plus cycle is not causation

Matching Psychologist with 2012 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 join does not verify doctoral degrees or licenses. Association PACs are not inside this occupation-cycle filter. This join does not publish a party split, a recipient-committee list, or employer text. If a reader only needs the occupation, the Psychologist donations hub is $32,154,906; the 2012 election cycle hub is the even-year inventory across titles. Do not add those hubs together.

Linked Psychologist and 2012 pages

Psychologist donations holds the $32,154,906 occupation total. The 2012 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 $2,071,367 is not added to a different year.

Use the occupation hub for all-cycle Psychologist dollars ($32,154,906). Use the 2012 cycle hub for the even-year window across titles. Use this tie for the intersection only: $2,071,367, 2,767 contributions, 1,177 donors, 6.4% of occupation dollars. Those four internal links are the only hrefs this copy may use: Psychologist donations, the 2012 election cycle, all occupations, and all FEC ties. Keep PSYCHOLOGIST as the occupation key and 2012 as the cycle key when joining files. FEC.gov remains the controlling source if a later extract disagrees with $2,071,367.

PSYCHOLOGIST spelling and 2012

The occupation key is PSYCHOLOGIST as stored. Nearby spellings (PSYCHIATRIST, THERAPIST, and COUNSELOR) are not recoded into this join. 2012 is the cycle key. Those two keys yield $2,071,367.

If a later FEC extract restates itemized receipts, the Commission filing controls. This snapshot is the occupation-cycle pair Psychologist × 2012: 2,767 contributions, 1,177 donors, $2,071,367. Sibling strings (PSYCHIATRIST, THERAPIST, and COUNSELOR) remain outside $2,071,367. Independent expenditures remain outside $2,071,367.
