本文探讨了合作对心理学的潜在影响。协作实验室是一种计算机支持的系统，允许科学家相互协作、使用设施和数据库进行协作，而无需考虑地理位置。当科学工作从物理环境转向虚拟环境时，我们从科学工作的组织和实践的变化角度讨论了合作机构的影响。对物理科学领域原型合作机构的检查表明，合作机构的使用可以通过改善稀缺资源的获取、支持远距离同事之间的联合工作以及学生更广泛地参与研究的机会来产生变化。如果心理学家利用合作机构的能力来设计新的研究方式，而不是采用合作技术作为现状的延伸，那么心理学领域也会出现类似的结果。
This article explores the potential impact of collaboratories on psychology. A collaboratory is a computer-supported system that allows scientists to work with each other, facilities, and databases without regard to geographical location. The impact of collaboratories is discussed in terms of changes in the organization and practice of scientific work as this work moves from physical to virtual settings. Examination of prototype collaboratories in the physical sciences shows that use of collaborateries produces changes through improved access to scarce resources, support for joint work among distant colleagues, and opportunities for broader participation in research by students. Similar results in psychology are predicted if psychologists exploit collaboratories' capabilities to design new ways of conducting research, rather than adopting collaboratory technology as an extension of the status quo.
