Abstract:Data sharing and data reusing are both actions of great importance in traumatic stress research which deals with highly vulnerable victims. Therefore, reusing trauma victims’ data to gain new insights can minimise the burden experienced through requestioning. Whereas previous studies indicated that perceived career risks hinder researchers across domains from sharing and reusing data, this study targeted traumatic stress researchers directly. Thereby, the associations between data sharing and perceived career risk, on the one hand, and data reusing and perceived career risk, on the other hand, were investigated. Additionally, research experience was included as a moderator. Traumatic stress researchers (N = 190) completed a cross-sectional online survey tapping data sharing, data reusing, and perceived career risk. To test the main associations a simple linear regression analysis was conducted. To analyse the moderation, the interaction of research experience (measured in years) and perceived career risk was included as an additional independent variable in a multiple regression analysis. This research found that perceived career risk is weakly and negatively associated with traumatic stress researcher’s data sharing and reusing behaviour. Moreover, the results indicated a strong negative moderation effect between perceived career risk and research experience on data reuse. The moderation of perceived career risk and research experience on data sharing was not significant. Findings suggest that higher perceived career risks are associated with less data sharing and reusing behaviours in traumatic stress researchers. Additionally, it was found that fewer years spent researching are highly negatively related with the association between perceived career risk and data reuse. Promoting and educating more scientists about data sharing and reusing and its benefits could increase the frequency of both behaviours.
