SGER: DHS and NSF Collaboration: Time-Sharing Experiments on Disaster Risk Communication and Preparedness

在2001年国家科学基金会社会和行为科学基础设施赠款的支持下，组织了宾夕法尼亚州戴安娜·穆茨大学社会科学分时实验(TESS)，以鼓励集体企业进行与政策有关的科学研究，并使科学界的个人研究议程受益。TESS使用了一种新的方法，将实验设计与大规模人口调查相结合。到目前为止，它已经为社会科学家制作了100多项原创的同行评议研究。TESS的范围对任何科学研究领域开放，只要研究涉及到对知识的原创贡献。在这个项目中，TESS将促进以下方面的研究：风险沟通及其对备灾的影响；政府和个人的责任归属和感知的反应；以及群体间的威胁与合作。利用这一现有的基础设施平台，TESS将促进国内最优秀的社会科学家对这些主题的研究，同时还为他们提供执行与国土安全相关的方法复杂研究所需的工具。该组织框架将允许拥有与国土安全和备灾相关的研究的研究人员收集高质量的数据，这些数据是根据调查人员的假设设计的，这些假设构成了数据收集的框架。更广泛地说，TESS将让其成熟且不断扩大的用户群体(来自政治学、心理学、经济学、社会学、公共政策、公共卫生、认知科学和传播研究)参与与国土安全有关的紧迫问题以及如何确保美国人未来的安全的研究。

SES- 0647660Diana MutzUniversity of Pennsylvania Time-sharing Experiments for the Social Sciences (TESS) supported by a 2001 NSF Social and Behavioral Sciences Infrastructure grant was organized to encourage the collective enterprise of producing policy-relevant scientific research, as well as to benefit individual research agendas within the scientific community. TESS uses a new methodology that combines experimental design with large-scale population surveys. To date, it has produced over 100 original peer-reviewed studies for social scientists. The scope of the TESS is open to any area of scientific research, as long as the study involved an original contribution to knowledge. In this project TESS will stimulate research on risk communication and its effects on disaster preparedness; government and individual attributions of responsibility and perceived responsiveness; and inter-group threat and cooperation. Using this existing infrastructure platform, TESS will stimulate research on these topics among the best social scientists in the country, while also providing them with the tools needed to execute methodologically sophisticated studies related to homeland security. The organizational framework will allow researchers with studies relevant to homeland security and disaster preparedness to collect high quality data designed with investigator hypotheses framing the data collection. More broadly, TESS will engage its well established and expanding constituency of users (from Political Science, Psychology, Economics, Social, Public Policy, Public Health, Cognitive Sciences and Communication Research) in research on pressing questions relating to homeland security and how to ensure the future safety of Americans..
