“…Areas of inquiry have included features of training environments which influence attitudes toward research (Galassi, Brooks, Stoltz, & Trexler, 1986;Gelso, Raphael, Black, Rardin, & Skalkos, 1983;Royalty & Magoon, 1985;Royalty & Reising, 1986;Wampold, 1986), personality characteristics of graduate students that are related to research interests (Betz & Taylor, 1982) and the relationship between training environment influence and personality characteristics in shaping attitudes toward research (Krebs, Smithner, & Hurley, 1991;Mallinckrodt, Gelso, & Royalty, 1990). Research suggests that certain features of training environments, such as the involvement of students in research at early points in their training and an emphasis on philosophy of science (Galassi et al, 1986), as well as the participation in research teams (Gelso et al, 1983) are related to students' positive view of research production. There is also evidence that personality characteristics and person-environment interactions are predictive of increased research interest (Mallinckrodt et al , 1990).…”
