Quantitative psychology is a field of scientific study that focuses on the mathematical modeling, research design and methodology, and statistical analysis of human attributes and psychological processes.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.apa.org/research/tools/quantitative/index.aspx )〕 Quantitative psychologists research traditional and novel methods of psychometrics, a field of study concerned with the theory and technique of psychological measurement.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://nces.ed.gov/ipeds/cipcode/cipdetail.aspx?y=55&cipid=87539 )〕 At a general level, quantitative psychologists help create methods for all psychologists to test their hypotheses.
Psychological research has a long history of contributing to statistical applications and theory. Today, quantitative psychology is recognized as its own branch of psychology by the American Psychological Association (APA), with doctoral degree programs awarded in this specialization in some universities in Europe and North America. Quantitative psychologists have traditionally been in high demand in industry, government, and academia. Their combined training in both social science and quantitative methodology provides a unique skill set for solving both applied and theoretical problems in a variety of areas.
==History==
Quantitative psychology has its roots in early experimental psychology when the scientific method was first applied to psychological phenomena. Gustav Fechner, Wilhelm Wundt, and Hermann von Helmholtz are recognized as some of the founders of modern experimental psychology. In particular, Fechner demonstrated that because the mind was susceptible to measurement and mathematical treatment, psychology had the potential to become a quantified science. Theorists such as Immanuel Kant had previously stated that this was impossible, and that therefore, a science of psychology was also impossible.
