“…This was in concordance with the recently published UK study, where relatively low levels of knowledge on HPV vaccination were found. 51 Similarly, an earlier Italian study found that 83.8% of mothers knew about HPV vaccination before receiving an invitation for vaccination. 24 The lowest level of knowledge in this study was seen in women with a neutral attitude toward the vaccine, indicating a potential for a positive shift after the provision of educational information about HPV vaccines.…”

Background: Although recommended for all member states of World Health Organization, there is no national human papillomavirus vaccination program in Kazakhstan. Furthermore, there are no studies in Kazakhstan that evaluate the mothers’ perception of human papillomavirus vaccines. Objectives: This study aims to assess the knowledge and attitudes toward human papillomavirus vaccination among mothers in Kazakhstan and the factors associated with their attitudes. Design: A cross-sectional study was performed during the period of December 2021—February 2022. The STROBE guideline for cross-sectional studies was applied. Methods: Paper-based structured questionnaires were filled out by 191 mothers, 141 of whom had daughters. The attitude score was assessed as per the Likert-type scale. The Chi-square and Fisher’s exact tests, with a significance value of < 0.05 were used to analyze the relationships between the characteristics of mothers and their attitude scores. Results: The following factors were significantly associated with mothers’ attitudes toward human papillomavirus vaccination: a place of residence, family income, number of children, and refusal of vaccination for themselves (p < 0.005). Of all participants, only 45% of all mothers, 41% of mothers with a female, and 46% of mothers with male children had positive attitudes toward human papillomavirus vaccination. The child’s gender was not a significant determinant. Overall, the level of knowledge about human papillomavirus vaccination was found to be low. The median total score is 0 out of 12 for women who have negative and neutral attitudes toward human papillomavirus vaccines. Among women who have positive attitudes toward HPV vaccines, the median score is around 3 points. Conclusion: Before the implementation of the human papillomavirus vaccination program into the Kazakhstani national vaccination calendar, comprehensive and adequate information and education campaigns are required on the national level for parents and the population in general.

“…These items have to be rated on a sevenpoint response scale ranging from "completely disagree" to "completely agree." Taylor et al (2022) report on a mixed method study where interviews were used to delve deeper into mothers' attitudes regarding HPV vaccination. They describe that "[...] all of the mothers attended screening because of its considered importance, with several expressing the opinion that it is something they had to do [...].…”

“…The corresponding definition of attitude seems to contain elements of risk perception, social norms, and importance. These elements seem absent from the definition used by Taylor et al (2022), which instead contains elements of trust and moral norms. The definition of attitude used by Schnell et al (2022) appears to involve subjective evaluations of a policy as reasonable, well-explained, meaningful, oppressive, and illegal.…”

A theory crisis and measurement crisis have been argued to be root causes of psychology's replication crisis. In both, the lack of conceptual clarification and the jingle-jangle jungle at the construct definition level as well the measurement level play a central role. We introduce a conceptual tool that can address these issues: Decentralized Construct Taxonomy specifications (DCTs). These consist of comprehensive specifications of construct definitions, corresponding instructions for quantitative and qualitative research, and unique identifiers. We discuss how researchers can develop DCT specifications as well as how DCT specifications can be used in research, practice, and theory development. Finally, we discuss the implications and potential for future developments to answer the call for conceptual clarification and epistemic iteration. This contributes to the move towards a psychological science that progresses in a cumulative fashion through discussion and comparison.

A theory crisis and measurement crisis have been argued to be root causes of psychology's credibility crisis. In both, the lack of conceptual clarification and the jingle-jangle jungle at the construct definition level as well the measurement level play a central role. We introduce a conceptual tool that can address these issues: a Decentralized Construct Taxonomy (DCT). This consists of comprehensive specifications of construct definitions and corresponding instructions for quantitative and qualitative research. We also introduce a number of open source technical tools that allow working with DCT specifications: the R package {psyverse}, the Constructor Shiny App, and the PsyCoRe construct repository. We discuss how researchers can develop DCT specifications as well as how DCT specifications can be used in research, practice, and theory development. Finally, we discuss the implications and potential for future developments to move towards machine-readable research outputs without relying on curation by a single authority. We hope these tools can help to answer the call for conceptual clarification and epistemic iteration, contributing to the move towards a psychological science that progresses in a cumulative fashion through discussion and comparison.
