Perceptions and predictors of questionable research practices in the social sciences

Conclusions ■ As expected, moral judgment, anticipated shame, and perceptions of harm were the strongest and most consistent predictors of the perceived likelihood of misconduct. ■ Perceived likelihood of detection only predicted for one scenario, and sanctions had no overall effect (sanctions did affect how strongly moral judgment affected likelihoods). ■ There were no differences in perceived likelihood of misconduct by type of university. ■ Early career faculty reported higher likelihoods. ■ Organizational justice was not related to likelihoods
