(The page I'm proposing to create is a currently a redlink here: American Psychological Association)

Division 5: Qualitative and Quantitative Methods of the American Psychological Association is a scientific and professional organization of psychologists concerned with promoting methodological rigor in research and practical applications. It was founded in 1946 and the first division president was Louis L. Thurstone, and was previously known as "Evaluation, Measurement, and Statistics." Members include specialists across several fields, including educational psychology, industrial-organizational psychology, program evaluation, psychometrics, qualitative inquiry, research interviewing, research methods, and statistics. Division 5 has three sections: Assessment; Evaluation, Measurement, and Statistics; and the Society for Qualitative Inquiry in Psychology. Division 5 sponsors awards for early-career and established members, and it also publishes a quarterly newsletter called The Score. Each section of the division also sponsors an academic journal.
