Collaborative Research: Institutional Settings and the Transmission of Social Scientific Knowledge

与对生物和物理科学创造和传播的社会原因的理解相比，人们对社会科学知识是如何发展和运用的了解较少。本研究通过分析培训课程如何传递隐性和显性知识，以及传递过程如何反馈到实验室和其他知识生产环境，填补了这一空白。为了做到这一点，一个跨学科调查小组审查了一千多小时的培训视频，这些视频旨在向用户传达心理科学。这些发现提供了关于不同的环境和传播模式如何影响社会科学研究的分布和吸收的新见解。更广泛的影响本研究项目通过促进机构之间的合作，以及培养本科生和研究生研究人员，加强社会科学研究和教育的基础设施。它还创建了一个在线数据库，可供其他分析心理科学创建和部署动态的人士使用。

Compared to understandings of the social causes of the creation and diffusion of biological and physical sciences, how social scientific knowledge is developed and deployed is less well understood. This study fills that gap by analyzing how training sessions transmit tacit and explicit knowledges, and how that transmission process feeds back to laboratory and other knowledge production settings. To do so, a team of interdisciplinary investigators examine a selection of over one thousand hours of training videos that seek to transmit psychological science to users. The findings provide new insights about how varied settings and modes of transmission shape the distribution and uptake of social science research. Broader ImpactsThis research project enhances infrastructure for social science research and education by fostering collaborations between institutions, and training of undergraduate and graduate student researchers. It also creates an online database that is available to other analysts of the dynamics of the creation and deployment of psychological sciences.
