Priming : des chercheurs souhaitant rester anonyme ont détecté une fraude scientifique dans une des 3 études de :
Shu, L. L., Mazar, N., Gino, F., Ariely, D., & Bazerman, M. H. (2012). Signing at the beginning makes ethics salient and decreases dishonest self-reports in comparison to signing at the end. Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 109(38), 15197–15200. doi:10.1073/pnas.1209746109.
Cette étude affirmait que signer en haut plutôt qu'en bas d'un formulaire augmentait l'honnêteté. Il faut noter qu'elle avait été débunkée par ses cinq auteurs accompagnés de deux autres chercheurs :
Kristal, A. S., Whillans, A. V., Bazerman, M. H., Gino, F., Shu, L. L., Mazar, N., & Ariely, D. (2020). Signing at the beginning versus at the end does not decrease dishonesty. Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 117(13), 7103–7107. doi:10.1073/pnas.1911695117
Extrait de Data Colada :
"The evidence presented in this post indicates that the data underwent at least two forms of fabrication: (1) many Time 1 data points were duplicated and then slightly altered (using a random number generator) to create additional observations, and (2) all of the Time 2 data were created using a random number generator that capped miles driven, the key dependent variable, at 50,000 miles."
This post is co-authored with a team of researchers who have chosen to remain anonymous. They uncovered most of the evidence reported in this post. These researchers are not connected in any way to the papers described herein. *** In 2012, Shu, Mazar, Gino, Ariely, and Bazerman published a three-stu...
