"Restraint" and "Internalization": Research on the Ways to Improve the Ethics Risk Consciousness of Scientific Researchers

“约束”与“内化” :科研人员伦理意识提升路径研究

Abstract

As the main body of scientific and technological innovation, scientific researchers play an important role in the ethical governance system of science and technology. To carry out scientific research, they need to bear corresponding social ethical responsibilities. Institutional ethical review and supervision system and ethical publicity and education are two important ways of scientific and technological ethical governance, which respectively play the governance functions of "restraint" and "internalization". This paper uses structural equation model to empirically analyze the effectiveness and mechanism of the two paths, and analyzes the impact of the two governance paths on researchers' acceptance of ethical codes, ethical risk perception and research willingness. The results showed that the "constraint" path positively affected the acceptance of ethical codes and ethical risk perception of researchers, indirectly positively affected the positive attitude and research willingness of researchers towards ethical disputes in biotechnology, and the "internalization" path positively affected the risk perception of researchers. The research results provide a reference for scientific research institutions to build an ethical governance path, enhance the ethical risk awareness of researchers and standardize research activities.
