Dataset on grant fund mismanagement and funding the researcher

This dataset was collected in December 2017. Participants (N=53) were graduate students in psychology. Questionnaire was self-report. The survey asked questions about grant and publishing experience, pressures associated with grants or publications, and demographics (e.g. age, gender, family income, year in graduate school, etc.). Participants were asked whether they preferred a funding the researcher or funding the project design. There was also an experimental component, whereby participants were randomly assigned to the experimental or control condition. In the experimental condition, they read a false APA ethics code concerning grant fund management. Participants then read through 7 ethically gray scenarios regarding grant management, and indicated if they would act similarly.
