What Do Mentoring and Training in the Responsible Conduct of Research Have To Do with Scientists??? Misbehavior? Findings from a National Survey of NIH-Funded Scientists

Key Points

This research explores how mentoring and training affect behavior in relation to scientific misconduct.
Conducted a national survey of NIH-funded scientists to assess experiences with mentoring and training.
Analyzed responses to evaluate the correlation between mentoring, training, and reported behavioral outcomes.
Training did not significantly reduce instances of problematic behavior among scientists.
Mentoring showed varying influences, with some respondents reporting both positive and negative impacts on behavior.

Abstract

The effectiveness of training in obviating problematic behavior is called into question. Mentoring has the potential to influence behavior in ways that both increase and decrease the likelihood of problematic behaviors.
