摘要

尽管虚拟公民科学项目有潜力让大量的人参与科学研究,但是播种和维护这样的网络可能是困难的。成功项目的一个特点是他们有积极的志愿者。是什么让志愿者有动力而不是冷漠?在本文中,我们重点关注有助于心理学研究的项目,我们称之为“公民心理科学”。这与典型的公民科学不同,因为志愿者被要求提供自己的数据。我们描述了我们与Errordiary(一个公民心理科学项目)一起进行的研究,志愿者在twitter上发布他们日常的人为错误经历。这些研究包括:(1)访谈研究,探讨8名Errordiary志愿者的动机;(2)三个焦点小组,探讨吸引新社区到Errordiary的潜力。我们发现,数据的个人性质可以以积极和消极的方式影响参与。我们建议科学家在鼓励公民心理科学志愿者为研究贡献他们的个人经验时需要考虑几个因素。

Exploring Citizen Psych-Science and the Motivations of Errordiary Volunteers
Although virtual citizen science projects have the potential to engage large networks of people in science research, seeding and maintaining such networks can be difficult. A feature of successful projects is that they have well-motivated volunteers. What makes volunteers motivated rather than apathetic? In this paper we focus on projects that contribute to psychology research, which we term ‘citizen psych-science’. This differs from typical citizen science because volunteers are asked to contribute themselves as data. We describe research studies that we conducted with Errordiary – a citizen psych-science project where volunteers tweet about their everyday experiences of human error. These studies were: (1) an interview study, to explore the motivations of eight Errordiary volunteers; and (2) three focus groups, to explore the potential of attracting new communities to Errordiary. We found that the personal nature of the data can influence participation in positive and negative ways. We suggest several factors that scientists need to consider when encouraging citizen psych-science volunteers to contribute their personal experiences towards research.
