Abstract

This survey focused on how responsible conduct of research training actually influences the thinking and behaviors of students and re searchers. In interviews with Ph.D. students and postdoctoral fellows, it was found that individuals with limited prior RCR experience, or who agreed with what was taught, it was relatively easy to influence their attitudes and how they thought they would use the new information in the future. However, if the individual's prior experiences or existing knowledge conflicted with what was taught, they resisted and often rejected new ideas that were presented. The authors highlight the needs to re-examine how responsible conduct of research training is taught, and the need to potentially deliver RCR training through a series of methods, rather than all at one time.
