Naturalistic Observations

Naturalistic Observations

If you want to understand how behavior occurs, one of the best ways to gain information is to simply observe the behavior in its natural context. However, people might change their behavior in unexpected ways if they know they are being observed. How do researchers obtain accurate information when people tend to hide their natural behavior? As an example, imagine that your professor asks everyone in your class to raise their hand if they always wash their hands after using the restroom. Chances...

Relationship Formation

Relationship Formation

What do you think is the single most influential factor in determining with whom you become friends and whom you form romantic relationships? You might be surprised to learn that the answer is simple: the people with whom you have the most contact. This most important factor is proximity. You are more likely to be friends with people you have regular contact with. For example, there are decades of research that shows that you are more likely to become friends with people who live in your dorm,...

Case Studies

Case Studies

There are many research methods available to psychologists in their efforts to understand, describe, and explain behavior and the cognitive and biological processes that underlie it.

Ethics in Research

Ethics in Research

Today, scientists agree that good research is ethical in nature and is guided by a basic respect for human dignity and safety. However, this has not always been the case. Modern researchers must demonstrate that the research they perform is ethically sound.

Archival Research

Archival Research

Some researchers gain access to large amounts of data without interacting with a single research participant. Instead, they use existing records to answer various research questions. This type of research approach is known as archival research. Archival research relies on looking at past records or data sets to look for interesting patterns or relationships. For example, a researcher might access the academic records of all individuals who enrolled in college within the past ten years and...

Group Design

Group Design

The most basic experimental design involves two groups: the experimental group and the control group. The two groups are designed to be the same except for one difference— experimental manipulation. The experimental group gets the experimental manipulation—that is, the treatment or variable being tested—and the control group does not. Since experimental manipulation is the only difference between the experimental and control groups, we can be sure that any differences between...

Area of Science:

Social Sciences
Science and Technology Studies

Background:

Research collaboration is extensively studied, yet factors driving diverse partnerships remain unclear.
Understanding collaboration with various partners (internal, external, international) is crucial.

Purpose of the Study:

To explain the emergence of diverse research collaborative ties.
To analyze factors stimulating collaboration with different research partners.

Main Methods:

Survey data from Slovenian scientists across mathematics, physics, biotechnology, and sociology.
Theoretical framework coupling scientific/technical human capital with social organization and cognitive field characteristics.

Main Results:

Individual characteristics and resources strongly predict collaboration.
Distinct mechanisms drive collaboration with different partner types.
International collaboration is vital for small national science systems.
Domestic collaborations facilitate resource mobilization.
Intra-organizational collaboration reflects labor division and competition.

Conclusions:

Individual attributes are significant predictors of research collaboration.
Tailored strategies are needed to foster different types of research partnerships.
Policy interventions can promote quality research by understanding collaboration dynamics.
