The Singapore Psychological Society (SPS) is a professional association representing psychologists in Singapore. Established to advance the discipline and practice of psychology, the society has a membership of over 1,300 individuals[5], including researchers, educators, clinicians, consultants, and students. SPS oversees the Singapore Register of Psychologists (SRP), a voluntary registry aimed at maintaining professional standards within the field.[6]
