Summary: | A phenomenon that does not quite rise to the level of research misconduct occurs when faculty responsible for assisting PhD students fail to fulfill that role. The factors that may affect readiness of faculty to help PhD students with a methodological issue concerning sampling that was essential for designing a dissertation were revealed in this study - a simulated student-professor interaction study. Of 153 faculty asked to assist, 47% failed to respond and of those who responded, only 21% made an appointment to help the student. Results of our study showed that responsible behavior of university professors in regard to helping PhD students was more likely if the faculty member was younger, had more recently been employed and had higher publication and citation scores. |
