Summary
Research integrity (RI) requires a deeper look beyond individual and institutional responsibilities. Focusing on specific research practices and cultures offers new ways to foster responsible conduct and avoid vague burdens.
Area of Science:
- Scientific Research
- Ethics in Science
Background:
- Research integrity (RI) discussions typically focus on individual researcher and institutional responsibilities.
- The concept of 'culture and practice' in RI is often treated as a residual category, lacking specific definition.
- Existing frameworks may lead to vague, additional burdens of responsibility for individuals.
Purpose of the Study:
- To develop a more nuanced understanding of 'culture and practice' within research integrity.
- To explore the relationship between core RI values and specific elements of practice and culture.
- To identify new intervention points for promoting responsible conduct through targeted practices and cultures.
Main Methods:
- Conceptual analysis of research integrity, practice, and culture.
- Articulation of key elements within research practices and cultures.
- Examination of the connection between RI values and these elements.
Main Results:
- Identified specific elements of practice and culture relevant to research integrity.
- Demonstrated how RI values are intrinsically linked to these specific practices and cultures.
- Proposed a framework that integrates practice and culture as distinct, actionable components of RI.
Conclusions:
- Fostering research integrity necessitates a focus on specific, context-dependent practices and cultures.
- Moving beyond residual categories allows for more effective interventions in promoting responsible conduct.
- This conceptual framework supports both practitioners and theorists in advancing research integrity.

01:24Humanistic Psychology

Humanistic psychology emerged in the mid-20th century as a response to the deterministic and pessimistic nature of behaviorism and psychoanalysis. While behaviorism focused on observable behaviors influenced by the environment and psychoanalysis delved into unconscious motivations, both theories suggested that human actions lacked free will. In contrast, humanistic psychology offers a perspective that emphasizes the innate potential for goodness and growth within every individual.
