Summary
Public advisors enhanced doctoral research relevance and shaped the researcher's perspective. Their involvement, though sometimes limited by program constraints, was perceived differently regarding voice strength by advisors and the researcher.
Area of Science:
- Health Services Research
- Qualitative Research Methods
- Patient and Public Involvement (PPI)
Background:
- Co-production and public involvement are increasingly integral to health research.
- Doctoral researchers are engaging public advisors throughout their research journey.
Purpose of the Study:
- To jointly evaluate public involvement in doctoral research using a structured framework.
- To explore the experiences and impact of public advisors in doctoral research.
Main Methods:
- A doctoral researcher and two public advisors utilized Gibson et al.'s public involvement evaluation framework.
- The framework assessed the strength of the public voice, opportunities for involvement, focus of concerns, and organizational response to feedback.
Main Results:
- Public advisors reported a stronger voice than perceived by the doctoral researcher.
- Multiple avenues for public advisor involvement were identified.
- Feedback was incorporated, but constrained by doctoral program regulations.
Conclusions:
- Public advisors enhanced the relevance of doctoral research to the public.
- Sustained public involvement influenced the doctoral researcher's thinking and viewpoints.

26.4K
Deindividuation is a form of social influence on an individual’s behavior such that the individual engages in unusual or non-normal behavior while in a group setting. Why? Because in these group settings, the individual no longer sees themselves as an individual anymore, disinhibiting their behavior and personal restraint.

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.

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...

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.

Gestalt psychology, founded by Max Wertheimer, Kurt Koffka, and Wolfgang Kohler, emphasizes the importance of understanding perception as an organized whole. Developed as a counter to Wilhelm Wundt's structuralism, this approach posits that our perceptions are more than just the sum of sensory parts; they are comprehensive wholes where the relationships between parts define the perception. The principle "The whole is greater than the sum of its parts" encapsulates this view,...
