The professional decision-making in research (PDR) measure was administered to 400 National Institutes of Health (NIH)-funded and industry-funded investigators, along with measures of cynicism, moral disengagement, compliance disengagement, impulsivity, work stressors, knowledge of responsible conduct of research (RCR), and socially desirable response tendencies. Negative associations were found for the PDR and measures of cynicism, moral disengagement, and compliance disengagement, while positive associations were found for the PDR and RCR knowledge and positive urgency, an impulsivity subscale. PDR scores were not related to socially desirable responding, or to measures of work stressors and the remaining impulsivity subscales. In a multivariate logistic regression analysis, lower moral disengagement scores, higher RCR knowledge, and identifying the United States as one's nation of origin emerged as key predictors of stronger performance on the PDR. The implications of these findings for understanding the measurement of decision-making in research and future directions for research and RCR education are discussed.
对400名由美国国立卫生研究院（NIH）资助和行业资助的研究人员进行了研究中的专业决策（PDR）测量，同时还进行了犬儒主义、道德脱离、合规脱离、冲动性、工作压力源、研究责任行为（RCR）知识以及社会期望反应倾向等方面的测量。研究发现，PDR与犬儒主义、道德脱离和合规脱离的测量结果呈负相关，而PDR与RCR知识和积极紧迫感（冲动性的一个子量表）呈正相关。PDR得分与社会期望反应、工作压力源测量结果以及其余冲动性子量表均无关。在多变量逻辑回归分析中，较低的道德脱离得分、较高的RCR知识以及将美国视为自己的原籍国成为PDR表现更强的关键预测因素。讨论了这些发现对于理解研究中决策测量以及研究和RCR教育未来方向的意义。
