まとめ
この研究は,学術分野だけでなく,学術分野内の収入の格差を明らかにしています. 教授の報酬と時間の割り当ては,研究時間の生産性や個人的なリスク回避などの要因に影響されます.
科学分野:
- 高等教育の研究研究
- 教育の経済学 教育の経済学
- 学術労働研究 アカデミック・労働研究
背景:
- 学術報酬と研究生産性の多面性を理解することは極めて重要です.
- 以前の研究は,多くの場合,総括データに焦点を当てており,個々の教授の経験に関する細かい洞察が欠如しています.
研究 の 目的:
- 米国の高等教育における研究活動に携わる教授の報酬,時間割り当て,研究に対する認識の新たな特徴を調査する.
- 収入の不平等の要因,研究生産性の測定,研究成果の選択を分析する.
主な方法:
- 約150の研究集約型米国機関の教授を対象に実施された調査.
- 収入と不平等,研究生産性と投入,研究出力の選択に分類された7つの重要な特徴の分析.
主要な成果:
- 収入の不平等は,分野間の不平等よりも,分野内での不平等の方が大きい; 制度的要因は,収入の変動の約半分を説明します.
- 生産性を1年あたりの生産量と,研究1時間あたりの生産量で測定すると,異なる結果が得られます.
- 個人的なリスクは応用研究の方向性を予測し,資金調達の強さとリスク回避は研究リスクの認識を予測する.
結論:
- 学術報酬構造は,複雑な要因の相互作用によって影響される,重要な内部変動を示しています.
- 研究生産性の測定と研究選択の動機は,個々の特徴によって微妙に変化し,影響を受けます.
- この研究は,現代の学術研究環境を理解するためのデータ主導の基盤を提供します.

Surveys
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.
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...
Longitudinal Research
Sometimes we want to see how people change over time, as in studies of human development and lifespan. When we test the same group of individuals repeatedly over an extended period of time, we are conducting longitudinal research. Longitudinal research is a research design in which data-gathering is administered repeatedly over an extended period of time. For example, we may survey a group of individuals about their dietary habits at age 20, retest them a decade later at age 30, and then again...
Cross-Sectional Research
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...
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.
Data Collection by Survey
The systematic method of obtaining and analyzing accurate information of a population is called data collection. A survey is a standard method of data collection that involves collecting information from a target human population about their experience, opinion, or knowledge of a product, service, or process. The responses are recorded and interpreted. The most common survey examples are written questionnaires, face-to-face or telephonic conversations, focus groups, and electronic (e-mail or...
