摘要

在过去的二十年里,定量技术在旅游现象研究中的应用得到了迅猛发展。各种定量方法使研究人员能够研究包括游客行为、目的地效率或旅游需求预测等在内的问题。然而,专业人员手中的统计仪器要么可以揭示世界的许多情况,要么反过来,欺骗成千上万的人。过去关于科学不端行为的研究主要集中在回答“谁?”,更待何时?或者多久一次?,剩下的问题是如何具体?而被知晓。在本文中,讨论了定量数据修改和伪造之间的灰色地带,旨在提高本科生对与执行定量调查相关的潜在陷阱的认识。为了提高未来科学研究的透明度和可信度,作者就如何在定量旅游研究的范围内负责任地开展工作提出了切实可行的建议。

“A study in grey”: a critical reflection on scientific (mis)behaviors in quantitative inquiries
ABSTRACT Application of quantitative techniques in the study of tourism phenomena has gained momentum in the last two decades. Various quantitative methods allow researchers to investigate problems encompassing, for instance, tourists’ behaviors, destinations efficiency, or tourism demand forecasting. However, statistical apparatus in the hands of a professional can either reveal a great deal about the world or conversely, deceive thousands of people. Past research touching upon the subject of scientific misbehaviors focused primarily on answering questions of who?, when? or how often?, leaving the matter of how specifically? rather uninvestigated. In the current paper, a grey area between quantitative data modification and falsification is discussed with the intention to build greater awareness among undergraduate students about potential pitfalls related to the execution of quantitative inquiries. To increase transparency and credibility of future scientific endeavors, practical recommendations are proposed on how to work responsibly within the confines of quantitative tourism research.
