PurposeThe authors检查培训负责任的行为研究和指导有关的行为，可能会损害science.MethodThe分析的基础上，从作者的2002年全国调查的4,160早期职业生涯和3,600中期职业生涯的生物医学和社会科学研究人员谁收到的研究支持，从美国国立卫生研究院的数据。作者使用逻辑回归分析来检查接受单独或综合的研究伦理培训，与伦理和一般相关的指导以及八类道德问题行为之间的关联。分析控制性别，博士学位，国际学位，和学科领域的类型。ResultsResponses收到1,479早期职业生涯和1,768中期职业生涯的科学家，调整后的响应率分别为43%和52%。结果为早期的职业生涯研究人员：在研究道德的培训与数据类别的问题行为呈正相关。与道德和研究有关的指导以及个人指导降低了研究人员从事有问题行为的几率，但对财务问题和职业生存的指导增加了这些几率。职业中期研究人员的结果：在研究伦理方面，单独和综合的培训与政策、资金使用和偷工减料等方面的问题行为的可能性降低有关。道德指导与政策category.ConclusionsThe培训的有效性，避免问题行为的几率降低。指导有可能以增加和减少问题行为的可能性的方式影响行为。
PurposeThe authors examine training in the responsible conduct of research and mentoring in relation to behaviors that may compromise the integrity of science.MethodThe analysis is based on data from the authors' 2002 national survey of 4,160 early-career and 3,600 midcareer biomedical and social science researchers who received research support from the U.S. National Institutes of Health. The authors used logistic regression analysis to examine associations between receipt of separate or integrated training in research ethics, mentoring related to ethics and in general, and eight categories of ethically problematic behavior. Analyses controlled for gender, type of doctoral degree, international degree, and disciplinary field.ResultsResponses were received from 1,479 early-career and 1,768 midcareer scientists, yielding adjusted response rates of 43% and 52%, respectively. Results for early-career researchers: Training in research ethics was positively associated with problematic behavior in the data category. Mentoring related to ethics and research, as well as personal mentoring, decreased the odds of researchers' engaging in problematic behaviors, but mentoring on financial issues and professional survival increased these odds. Results for midcareer researchers: Combined separate and integrated training in research ethics was associated with decreased odds of problematic behavior in the categories of policy, use of funds, and cutting corners. Ethics mentoring was associated with lowered odds of problematic behavior in the policy category.ConclusionsThe effectiveness of training in obviating problematic behavior is called into question. Mentoring has the potential to influence behavior in ways that both increase and decrease the likelihood of problematic behaviors.
