This is because collecting the data for these studies is time-intensive and typically cannot be accomplished independently. In addition, psychologists view research as a collaborative process and value the intellectual contribution of multiple authors. In clinical psychology the first author is viewed as the primary author and therefore the person making the primary intellectual contribution.
