How one should recognize and evaluate such changes over time is a prominent topic in the psychometric literature, where it falls under the broader concept of <em>response shift</em>. A key question in that literature is if reactive changes are ever <em>natural</em>, that is, whether there are cases in which the measurement results before and after the shift are both accurate to the underlying phenomenon. This is thought to depend on what causal regularities obtain in the area of study, but also on whether the phenomenon is in part constituted by normative and changeable evaluations by the respondent. While the naturalness of reactivity is typically discussed exclusively at the level of measures of individual respondents, much philosophical attention has also been spent in recent years on the reactivity in measurement of <em>macro</em>-social entities, like countries and institutions. This article offers conceptual clarification for that new field by mapping concepts from psychometrics to the measurement of macro-social phenomena. In particular, this article distinguishes two existing arguments about the naturalness of reactivity in psychometrics (‘the argument from regularity’ and ‘the argument from strong evaluation’) and shows what is needed to extrapolate them fruitfully, by focusing on two examples of public measures, viz., democracy indicators and university rankings.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":49467,"journal":{"name":"Studies in History and Philosophy of Science","volume":"112 ","pages":"Pages 1-9"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2025-06-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144243309","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"哲学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Despite researchers' good intentions, attempts to engage members of marginalized social groups can involve elements of epistemic exploitation. Epistemic exploitation occurs when privileged persons compel marginalized persons to produce an education about the nature of the oppression they face. Epistemic exploitation is harmful not only to those who are exploited but also to research that depends on people's voluntary participation. It increases the risk that potential research participants systematically decline invitations to participate in research. To illustrate this, I discuss the phenomenon of research fatigue in studies of the Sámi, Indigenous people living in Northern Europe. While research fatigue can be interpreted as resistance to epistemic exploitation, it has a downside. It prevents people from enjoying the benefits of research that could improve their lives in many ways. I discuss four types of institutional remedies to epistemic exploitation: raising awareness, allocating resources for education, rewarding epistemic diversity work, and requiring ethical review. Acknowledging the limitations of institutional interventions, I argue that community-based research is a promising avenue for counteracting epistemic exploitation.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":49467,"journal":{"name":"Studies in History and Philosophy of Science","volume":"111 ","pages":"Pages 63-71"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2025-05-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144123141","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"哲学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This article presents findings that indicate the risk associated with the Muria nuclear power plant is primarily shaped and being constructed by democratic principles of accountability and transparency, as analyzed through Science and Technology Studies (STS) concepts such as risk, expertise, and counter-experts. The possible contribution of Islamic values—<em>maslaha</em> (benefits) and <em>mafsadah</em> (harms)—in advancing technological advancements with ethical considerations to benefit the public at large is discussed in this article. It also promotes public participation in science and technology, emphasizing the importance of discussing decisions about nuclear power plants with the impacted communities.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":49467,"journal":{"name":"Studies in History and Philosophy of Science","volume":"111 ","pages":"Pages 56-62"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2025-05-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144098776","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"哲学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
