Un‐nudgeable Nudgers: An Experiment on Voluntary Contribution to an Academic Network Working on the CAP. A Note
通过邮件实验研究不同信息框架(悲观或乐观)对学者自愿贡献于新兴学术网络意愿的影响,发现尽管处理效应较大,但统计上不显著,并讨论了小样本局限和网络助推的未来研究潜力。
Abstract Peer networks can positively affect individual careers and the scientific enterprise as a whole. People’s willingness to contribute to such networks is poorly understood. In an email experiment, we investigated how framing the future research environment affects people’s willingness to contribute to an emerging academic network. In spite of relatively large treatment effects, we do not find statistically significant effects of pessimistic or optimistic messaging on the willingness to contribute. We discuss limitations of the small sample size and the future research potential of network nudges.
