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

在NSF的支持下，社会心理学网络（Social Psychology Network，SPN）已经成为科学心理学中使用最多的网站之一。平均每天，来自世界各地75个国家的访问者浏览该网络的网页超过30 000次-自该网络成立以来，总共浏览网页超过2 200万次。目前的项目将进一步开发SPN成为一个门户网站，具有许多非学术门户网站的功能，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10，000多个网络链接的注释数据库的高级搜索功能。此外，网络小组将增加一种新的网络技术，通过因特网进行复杂的“类似人”的面谈。这项先进的技术由SPN团队为其合作伙伴网站eInterview.org创建，将能够根据受访者给出的答案改变问题措辞、回答选项和主题。SPN及其合作伙伴网站eInterview.org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.
