Eight domains of competence.
Psychologists must pass the national licensing exam before they are licensed. The exam is divided into eight domains. As I’ve said, psychologists do a number of different things. A quick look at these gives you an idea about areas that psychologists are expected to be knowledgeable in. I’ll be writing more about each of the domains.

  1. Biological Bases of behavior
  2. Cognitive-Affective Bases of Behavior
  3. Social and Multicultural Bases of Behavior
  4. Growth and Lifespan Development
  5. Assessment and Diagnosis
  6. Treatment, Intervention, and Prevention
  7. Research Methods and Statistics
  8. Ethical/Legal/Professional Issues
