This study examines self-reported engagement in questionable research practices (QRPs) by faculty (N = 164) and students (N = 110) in American Psychological Association (APA)-accredited clinical and counseling psychology doctoral programs. Both faculty and student participants were asked to report their own engagement as well as the engagement of their graduate school mentor in 12 QRPs. Nearly 65% of the faculty participants and 50% of the student participants reported engaging in at least one QRP. The most commonly reported QRP was selectively reporting findings that worked (35% for faculty, 26% for students) and the least commonly admitted was falsifying data (0% for faculty, 1% for students). Total number of QRPs engaged in was significantly predicted by knowledge of mentor engagement in QRPs (explaining 34% of the variance for faculty and 19% of the variance for students), but it was not predicted by degree year, number of publications, or self-reported researcher reputation. These results suggest that QRPs do occur in the field, but perhaps at lower levels than had previously been thought. They also suggest that additional training in QRPs is needed. Training implications and future directions are discussed.

This study was designed to investigate the extent to which the values of counseling psychology are present in the selection of applicants to counseling psychology doctoral programs and to determine the stability of these values over a 10-year period. A forced-choice paired comparison model revealed that preference for admissions criteria was relatively stable over time. Specifically, preference for an ethnic minority applicant was ranked first over a 10-year period followed by the research publication of an applicant and experience in counseling diverse populations. The present findings have implications for addressing the profession's evolving professional identity andfor the advising of doctoral applicants.

Ethics training in graduate psychology programs has blossomed in the last decade but the debate continues regarding how graduate ethics training should be taught. Although an effective model of ethics training is being discussed among professors, student input has been negligible and information from students in counseling psychology programs nonexistent. The present study surveyed student representatives from APA-accredited doctoral programs in professional psychology for 1990 on their exposure and type of ethics education as well as their perception of preparedness to deal with ethical dilemmas. Results indicate that 94% of the programs require training in ethics and that most students feel prepared for both legal and ethical issues that may arise in their professional roles. Students feel more prepared in the decision-making process than in factual information of ethics; this finding was surprising given that the reported emphasis of their training was much stronger on content than on process.
