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

与对生物和物理科学产生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。这项研究通过分析培训课程如何传递隐性和显性知识，以及这种传递过程如何反馈到实验室和其他知识生产环境来填补这一空白。为了做到这一点，一个跨学科的调查团队检查了精选的1000多个小时的培训视频，这些视频试图向用户传播心理科学。这些发现为不同的传播环境和模式如何影响社会科学研究的分布和吸收提供了新的见解。更广泛的影响这个研究项目通过促进机构之间的合作，以及对本科生和研究生研究人员的培训，加强了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，供其他分析师使用，了解心理科学的创建和部署的动态。

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.
