| Abstract: | Background. Previous studies identified underlying factors for the data sharing and reusing behaviour of scientists among diverse specializations. However, prior findings may not be generalized to the traumatic stress field. This research has investigated the data sharing and reusing behaviour of scientists within the traumatic stress field by testing the relationship between the perceived career benefit and data sharing and reusing behaviour. Furthermore, two career stages were compared and it was tested if the researchers' career stage moderated the predicted relationships between perceived career benefit, data sharing and reusing behaviour. Method. This study used a cross-sectional online questionnaire to assess the perceived career benefit, data sharing and reusing behaviour of researchers within the traumatic stress field. By using a purposive sampling method, 218 participants were recruited. The previously predicted relationships were analysed by using linear regression analysis, while the Kruskal Wallis test was used to assess career stage differences. Additionally, moderation analysis was conducted by using the SPSS package “PROCESS” by Andrew F. Hayes. Results. No significant relationship between perceived career benefit and data sharing nor between perceived career benefit and data reusing was found. Furthermore, significant differences between junior and senior career stage researcher were found in the participants' data sharing and reusing scores, while no significant difference was found in the researchers' perceived career benefit scores. Moreover, no moderation effect was found on the previously mentioned relationships. Discussion. This study suggested that the data sharing and reusing behaviour is not common practice within the traumatic stress field. Furthermore, this study suggested that future research is needed to clarify the relationship between perceived career benefit and data sharing or reusing behaviour within the traumatic stress field. |
