Abstract: | Data sharing is not yet used much in the field of traumatic stress. One factor that has a negative relation with data sharing is perceived effort. Gender could also have a moderating effect on the relation between perceived effort and data sharing. Therefore, two hypotheses were established: H1: Higher perceived effort is related to less data sharing behaviour. H2: The association between perceived effort and data sharing is moderated by gender, such that the association between data sharing and perceived effort is stronger for females. A survey was used to ask traumatic stress researchers about their data sharing behaviour. The correlation between perceived effort and data sharing was found to be significant and negative (ρ = -0.16, p = .012, N = 208). The multiple regression analysis found a significant relation between perceived effort and data sharing (B = -0.16, SE = 0.05, p = .003), and a non-significant relation for gender (B = -0.26, SE = 0.36, p = .477), and the interaction term (B = -0.006, SE = 0.11, p = .956). Therefore, H1 is accepted and H2 is rejected. Limitations of the study were construction of outcome measures, underrepresented regions, and gender divide in the sample. |
