AI Article Synopsis

  • Researchers have highlighted a "reproducibility crisis" in scientific studies, especially in the field of psychosocial research on job stress and burnout.
  • Two major biases affecting the generalizability of results are sample bias, often from using web surveys, and common method bias from relying solely on questionnaires.
  • The text discusses these biases and suggests potential remedies to minimize their impact on research findings.

Article Abstract

In recent years, researchers identified a "reproducibility crisis" of scientific studies. In assessing job stress and burnout in psychosocial research two biases that prevent the results from being generalized are common: sample bias (included web survey) and common method bias using questionnaires. These issues are commented and remedies are proposed to prevent or contain biases.
