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...

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.

Attitudes

Attitudes

Attitude is our evaluation of a person, an idea, or an object. We have attitudes for many things ranging from products that we might pick up in the supermarket to people around the world to political policies. Typically, attitudes are favorable or unfavorable: positive or negative (Eagly & Chaiken, 1993). And, they have three components: an affective component (feelings), a behavioral component (the effect of the attitude on behavior), and a cognitive component (belief and knowledge;...

Social Proof

Social proof is a form of persuasion based on comparison and conformity. People compare their behavior and actions to what others are doing and will change to conform to do what their peers do.

Stereotype Content Model

Stereotype Content Model

The Stereotype Content Model (SCM) was first proposed by Susan Fiske and her colleagues (Fiske, Cuddy, Glick & Xu, 2002; see also Fiske, 2012 and Fiske, 2017). The SCM specifies that when someone encounters a new group, they will stereotype them based on two metrics: warmth—or that group’s perceived intent, and how likely they are to provide help or inflict harm—and competence—or their ability to carry out that objective. Depending on the warmth-competence categorization, a person will feel...

Scientific Nature of Social Psychology

Scientific Nature of Social Psychology

Social psychology is a scientific discipline dedicated to understanding how individuals think, feel, and behave in social contexts. Unlike common sense, which relies on anecdotal experiences and intuition, social psychology employs systematic research and empirical methods to ensure objectivity and reliability. This distinction is fundamental in distinguishing scientifically supported findings from mere speculation.Four fundamental scientific values guide a structured approach to research in...

Summary

Scientists reuse data most when they believe it is effective and important. Demonstrating the value of scientific data sharing can encourage wider adoption and normalization of data reuse practices.

Area of Science:

Environmental Science
Data Science
Scientific Research

Background:

Scientific data sharing is valued, yet factors influencing data reuse are not fully understood.
Understanding scientists' beliefs and attitudes is crucial for promoting data reuse.

Purpose of the Study:

To investigate the relationship between scientists' beliefs/attitudes and their data reuse behavior.
To identify key drivers and barriers to scientific data reuse.

Main Methods:

Utilized existing survey data from a global scientist survey administered by the DataONE Usability and Assessment Working Group.
Applied the Theory of Reasoned Action to analyze factors influencing self-reported data reuse behavior.

Main Results:

Perceived efficacy and efficiency of data reuse strongly predict reuse behavior.
Perceived importance of data reuse correlates with increased reuse.
Lack of trust and perceived negative norms were not significant barriers to reuse.
Use of models and remotely-sensed data associated with higher reuse rates.

Conclusions:

Demonstrating the value of scientific data sharing is key to encouraging and normalizing reuse.
Theoretical and practical suggestions can support investment and policies favoring data sharing.
Future efforts should focus on highlighting the practical benefits and successful applications of data reuse.
