Reliability and Validity01:29

Reliability and Validity

12.6K
Reliability and validity are two important considerations that must be made with any type of data collection. Reliability refers to the ability to consistently produce a given result. In the context of psychological research, this would mean that any instruments or tools used to collect data do so in consistent, reproducible ways.

Surveys02:16

Surveys

14.7K
Often, psychologists develop surveys as a means of gathering data. Surveys are lists of questions to be answered by research participants, and can be delivered as paper-and-pencil questionnaires, administered electronically, or conducted verbally. Generally, the survey itself can be completed in a short time, and the ease of administering a survey makes it easy to collect data from a large number of people.

Cross-Sectional Research01:50

Cross-Sectional Research

11.1K
In cross-sectional research, a researcher compares multiple segments of the population at the same time. If they were interested in people's dietary habits, the researcher might directly compare different groups of people by age. Instead of following a group of people for 20 years to see how their dietary habits changed from decade to decade, the researcher would study a group of 20-year-old individuals and compare them to a group of 30-year-old individuals and a group of 40-year-old...

Cognitive Dissonance01:38

Cognitive Dissonance

32.3K
Social psychologists have documented that feeling good about ourselves and maintaining positive self-esteem is a powerful motivator of human behavior (Tavris & Aronson, 2008). In the United States, members of the predominant culture typically think very highly of themselves and view themselves as good people who are above average on many desirable traits (Ehrlinger, Gilovich, & Ross, 2005). Often, our behavior, attitudes, and beliefs are affected when we experience a threat to our...

Impact01:30

Impact

130
Impact occurs when two bodies collide, leading to the application of impulsive forces between them. Analyzing impact mechanics involves considering two colliding particles moving along a line known as the line of impact, which passes through their centers and is perpendicular to the contact plane.
When particles with different initial velocities collide, they induce deformation by applying equal and opposite impulses. At the point of maximum deformation, the particles move together with...

Area of Science:

  • Public policy and science studies
  • Science ethics
  • International relations

Background:

  • Recent years have seen an increase in policies and actions perceived as anti-science.
  • These include budget reductions for scientific research and the imposition of censorship on scientific findings.
  • The United States has also withdrawn from several international scientific collaborations and agreements.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To document and analyze the growing concerns among scientists regarding anti-science policies.
  • To explore the potential impacts of these policies on scientific research, integrity, and international cooperation.
  • To highlight the specific worries of the ReForm Lab at the College of William & Mary.

Main Methods:

  • Qualitative analysis of policy documents and scientific discourse.
  • Case study approach focusing on the US withdrawal from international commitments.
  • Surveys and interviews with members of the ReForm Lab (specific methods not detailed in abstract).

Main Results:

  • Members of the ReForm Lab express significant worry over current anti-science trends.
  • Specific concerns include the impact of funding cuts on research capabilities.
  • Scientific censorship and the US disengagement from global partnerships are identified as major threats.

Conclusions:

  • Anti-science policies pose a substantial risk to scientific advancement and global collaboration.
  • Urgent attention and action are needed to counteract these detrimental trends.
  • The findings underscore the importance of robust support for science and international scientific engagement.
