Svatko tko radi u sustavu znanosti tijekom posljednjih se godina susreo s pojmom otvorene znanosti. Poput neke poštapalice, pozivi za otvaranjem znanosti pojavljuju se u javnim politikama, ...nacionalnim (npr. NWO, bez dat.) i nadnacionalnim (Glavna uprava Istraživanje i inovacija, 2019) zakladama za financiranje istraživačkog rada, uredničkim tekstovima znanstvenih časopisa u gotovo svim znanstvenim disciplinama te suvremenim sociološkim i filozofskim opisima znanosti. Ukratko, duh otvorene znanosti izišao je iz boce i proširio se znanstvenoistraživačkim institucijama i svim drugim administrativnim tijelima vezanima uz njih. O čemu je zapravo riječ kad govorimo o otvorenoj znanosti?
Purpose
Fausey and Boroditsky (Psychon. Bull. Rev., 17, 2010, 644) demonstrated that agentive descriptions of accidents can increase perceived blame and financial liability. We conducted direct ...replications of their studies 1 and 2 in English, as originally used, and in Croatian.
Methods
Participants in the first experiment read either an agentive or a nonagentive description of an incident that resulted in a fire and rated the level of blame and financial liability of the main character in the story. The second experiment examined the direct influence of language on financial liability assessments while manipulating the blame level. Participants were presented with the same story as in the first experiment with the added sentence about the blame level attributed to the main character by an independent panel. We used the materials from the original studies and replicated the studies using a large sample of native English‐speaking residents of the USA and Croatian students.
Results
We successfully replicated original findings in English, but results of the experiments conducted in Croatian were mixed. In the first experiment, we found a smaller effect of agentive language and only on the blame level and not on the proposed financial penalty. In the second experiment, we did not find the effect of agentive language on the proposed fine.
Conclusions
Our experiments confirmed the original findings in English. The effect might exist in Croatian too, but its exact size remains to be determined in future research. Possible explanations of observed differences between results in English and Croatian are discussed.
Temeljno obilježje vidnoga radnog pamćenja jest da preciznost dosjećanja opada porastom broja podražaja koji se pamti. Ovaj se nalaz tumači kao posljedica raspodjele ograničene količine resursa, pri ...čemu porastom broja podražaja koji se pamti pada količina resursa pridana svakom podražaju. Nedavna istraživanja pokazuju kako dosjećanje u zadacima vidnoga radnog pamćenja ovisi i o karakteristikama seta podražaja koji se pamti. Konkretno, u zadatku pamćenja jednostavnih vidnih karakteristika dvaju podražaja (npr. orijentacije) dosjećanje jednog podražaja karakterizira sustavna pogreška u smjeru drugog zapamćenog podražaja, tzv. efekt privlačenja. U ovom smo istraživanju željeli provjeriti koliko je ovaj efekt otporan na eksperimentalne manipulacije preciznosti pamćenja podražaja. U četiri su eksperimenta sudionici (N = 33) pamtili i dosjećali se istovremeno prikazanih orijentacija podražaja. U prvom je eksperimentu redoslijed dosjećanja odabiran po slučaju; u drugom su eksperimentu sudionici trebali samostalno birati redoslijed kojim će se dosjećati, a u trećem i četvrtom eksperimentu redoslijed dosjećanja ponovno je odabiran po slučaju, no sudionicima je na svakoj sekvenci unaprijed (eksp. 3) ili unatrag (eksp. 4) signalizirano kojeg će se podražaja najvjerojatnije morati dosjetiti prvog. Efekt privlačenja bio je vidljiv u sva četiri eksperimenta, i to pri dosjećanju obaju podražaja. Ovo istraživanje demonstrira robusnost efekta privlačenja u vidnom radnom pamćenju, što implicira da mehanizmi u podlozi tog efekta nisu podložni korekciji, odnosno da su sastavni dio temeljnih procesa kodiranja vidnih podražaja.
One of the basic characteristics of visual working memory (VWM) is that recall precision declines with the number of items to be memorised. This
finding is interpreted as a consequence of the allocation of a limited pool of resources, whereby the amount of resources allocated to each item drops with each additional stimulus. Recent studies show that recall in VWM tasks also depends on the characteristics of the stimulus set which is to be memorised. Specifically, when memorising simple visual features of two stimuli (e.g. their orientations), the recall of one stimulus's features is marked by a systematic bias towards the other
stimulus's features. In this study, we wanted to examine how robust this effect is to experimental manipulations of memory precision. In four experiments, participants (N = 33) memorised and recalled the orientations of two simultaneously presented stimuli. In the first experiment, the recall order was chosen at random. In the second, participants had to choose the recall order themselves. In the third and
fourth experiments, recall order was again chosen at random, but participants were presented with a cue before (exp. 3) or after (exp. 4)
the stimuli were displayed, which indicated which of the stimuli is most likely to be recalled first. The attraction effect was observed in all four experiments and affected the recall of both stimuli. This study
demonstrates the robustness of the attraction effect in VWM, implying that the mechanisms underlying the effect are not susceptible to correction, or in other words, that it is a part of the fundamental processes of coding visual stimuli.
Online advertising is an important tool that can be utilized by charities to elicit attention and funding. A critical examination of advertisement strategies is thus necessary to increase the ...efficacy of fundraising efforts. Previous studies have shown that individuals' moral views and perceptions of social norms can play important roles in charitable behavior. Thus, the current protocol describes a study to examine whether framing charitable advertisements in line with participants' morality and increasing the salience of descriptive social norms increases subsequent charitable behavior. We describe experimental, online methods, whereby participants are provided with a framed call-to-action and normative information within a custom-developed application or existing survey platform. Furthermore, in the exploratory fashion, we discuss the possibility of collecting participants' Facebook data and predicting moral profiles from this data. If there is an increased rate of donations as a result of moral compatibility and/or increased norm salience, charities can leverage this knowledge to increase the donations by tailoring their campaigns in a more appealing way for their prospective donors. Moreover, if it turns out to be possible to predict one's moral profile from Facebook footprints, charities can use this knowledge to find and target people that are more likely to support their cause. However, this introduces important ethical questions that are discussed within this protocol.
