| Tóm tắt: | Data sharing and open science are increasingly emphasized as a means to increase transparency and reproducibility in science. Despite the consensus on the importance of research data management (RDM), the public availability of data sets remains limited, and researchers often fail to share data upon request. This study explores the psychological mechanisms underlying RDM intentions, using the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) as a framework. TPB, a prominent theory in psychology, links beliefs about behavior to intentions and actual behavior, taking into account attitudes, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control. This paper applies the theory to RDM, addressing the ambivalence researchers experience towards data sharing, characterized by simultaneous positive and negative evaluations. Empirical analysis of a reused data set supports the existence of ambivalent attitudes toward data sharing. To mitigate ambivalent attitudes towards RDM, we propose strategies for RDM staff and institutions, that emphasize transparent communication, supportive environments, and practical resources that pave the way for good RDM. |
