Social Psychology Network II: Building a Research Infrastructure and Advancing Online Data Collection in the Social Sciences

在NSF之前的支持下，社会心理学网(SPN)已经成为科学心理学中使用量最大的网站之一。该网络的网页平均每天被来自全球75个国家和地区的访问者浏览3万多次--自SPN成立以来，页面浏览量总计超过2200万次。目前的项目将进一步将SPN发展成为一个门户网站，具有非学术门户网站的许多功能，如用户定制、自动链接检查、可选的电子邮件公告，以及依赖于一个包含10,000多个网络链接的带注释的数据库的高级搜索能力。此外，Network Team还将增加一项新的基于网络的技术，用于通过互联网进行复杂的“类人”采访。这项先进的技术由SPN团队为其合作伙伴网站eInterview.org创建，将能够根据受访者的回答改变问题措辞、回答选项和主题。SPN及其eInterview.org合作网站将共同加强社会科学研究和教育的基础设施，为全球数据收集、学术交流和研究成果传播提供新的可能性。

With prior NSF support, Social Psychology Network (SPN) has become one of the most heavily used Internet sites in scientific psychology. On an average day, the Network's pages are viewed more than 30,000 times by visitors from 75 countries around the world -- a total of more than 22 million page views since SPN was established. The current project will further develop SPN into a web portal with many of the features found in nonacademic web portals, such as customization by users, automatic link-checking, optional email bulletins, and an advanced search capability that relies on an annotated database of more than 10,000 web links. In addition, the Network team will add a new web-based technology for conducting complex "human-like" interviews via the Internet. This advanced technology, created by the SPN team for its partner site at eInterview.org, will be capable of changing question wording, response options, and topics depending upon the answers given by interviewees. Together, SPN and its eInterview.org partner site will strengthen the infrastructure of social science research and education, offering new possibilities for global data collection, scholarly communication, and dissemination of research results.
