34 Spectrum pure utilised research (2)
35 Spectrum pure utilised research (2) (4) Problem-driven/product-oriented research: need to solve a practical problem or to develop a useful product
36 Spectrum pure utilised research (2) (4) Problem-driven/product-oriented research: need to solve a practical problem or to develop a useful product Various types within this category: Instrumental research Research aimed at manufacture of products Research on intervention methods Research on procedures or processes
37 Spectrum pure utilised research (2) (4) Problem-driven/product-oriented research: need to solve a practical problem or to develop a useful product Various types within this category: Instrumental research Research aimed at manufacture of products Research on intervention methods Research on procedures or processes There is nothing inferior about this type of applied research: Same methodological rules and standards as pure research Important contributions to scientific knowledge

42 Why under-utilisation?
43 Why under-utilisation? Ignorance. Popularity of social sciences from popular magazines, bestsellers and gurus in stead of evidence based social sciences
44 Why under-utilisation? Ignorance. Popularity of social sciences from popular magazines, bestsellers and gurus in stead of evidence based social sciences Confusion. Much of s.sc. knowledge is uncertain and probabilistic; findings are often conflicting
45 Why under-utilisation? Ignorance. Popularity of social sciences from popular magazines, bestsellers and gurus in stead of evidence based social sciences Confusion. Much of s.sc. knowledge is uncertain and probabilistic; findings are often conflicting Anti-science attitude. Appreciation of science has been replaced by doubts, criticism, and even enmity. Unwillingness to think coherently and rationally. Taverne: The March of Unreason
46 Why under-utilisation? Ignorance. Popularity of social sciences from popular magazines, bestsellers and gurus in stead of evidence based social sciences Confusion. Much of s.sc. knowledge is uncertain and probabilistic; findings are often conflicting Anti-science attitude. Appreciation of science has been replaced by doubts, criticism, and even enmity. Unwillingness to think coherently and rationally. Taverne: The March of Unreason Unwillingness. People do not want to give up their spouse theories, their prejudices, their ethnic, geographic or gender stereotypes.
47 Why under-utilisation? (2)
48 Why under-utilisation? (2) Distrust. Misleading scientific advice No distinction between scientific fundings and personal opinions General concern regarding moral consequences of fast developing science and technology
49 Why under-utilisation? (2) Distrust. Misleading scientific advice No distinction between scientific fundings and personal opinions General concern regarding moral consequences of fast developing science and technology Disappointment. No answers to the real questions with which one is confronted: too detailed laboratory studies, too positivistic tradition, too mono-disciplinary approach
50 Why under-utilisation? (2) Distrust. Misleading scientific advice No distinction between scientific fundings and personal opinions General concern regarding moral consequences of fast developing science and technology Disappointment. No answers to the real questions with which one is confronted: too detailed laboratory studies, too positivistic tradition, too mono-disciplinary approach Deception. Bona fide scientists have to compete with all kinds of pseudo-scientific experts. In spite of much contra-evidence the popularity of this pseudo-scientific moonshine is alarmingly high.
