Theory of Reasoned Action/Planned Behavior The theory of reasoned action (TRA) was developed by Icek Ajzen and Martin Fishbein in 1975, to examine the relation between attitudes and behavior (Morisky, 2002). The intention to behave a certain way is determined by the persons attitude toward the behavior (Littlejohn, 2011). Later, behaviors appeared to not be completely voluntary and under control.

Chemists are typically portrayed as unaware and socially inept, which might be a true stereotype for a small population but is most certainly false over the entire population. Chemists such as Madame Curie, Paul Ehrlich, Louis Pasteur, Oliver Sacks, and many more have been breaking down stereotypes through their lifework and their personalities outside of science. In their works they showed passion like none other. Fighting through several barriers and setbacks, they were able to achieve their goals

Generally, these concerns then bring to light the recurring issue around the concept of reproducibility within the scientific community. According to those who participated in the Open Science Collaboration (2012) research paper, reproducibility is the process of “obtaining a meaningful estimate of reproducibility requires conducting replications of a sizable number of studies” (p. 658). The Econmist’s (2013) article acknowledges reproducibility as a core principle of science, which expresses that:

The scientific method is important in everyday life. Individuals go through the scientific method without even realizing it. For example, when an individual must check the oil in their car, one must first make observations, formulate a hypothesis based on those observations, then perform the fix/experiment, then record the results. In lab number two, Daphnia organisms will be placed in water, a caffeine solution, and an alcohol solution, and for each solution the Daphnia is placed in, the organism

The scientific community is a community in which many people do not understand. Science is looked upon as too complex and too obsessed with terminology in which established a new language for the field. What many may not understand, however, is that sciences have developed outside of just cells and microscopes. The biggest science today is the socialized science of gender and sexuality. As a scientist and researcher, I am familiar with the abundant terms for specific organelles within a cell or the

Recently we have seen a significant change in study behavior of today’s Flemish students (Belgium) of higher education. In exam periods, more and more students are looking for social environments to study alongside each other. Public places such as libraries, study landscapes, student restaurants are receiving large groups of students. Looking on the broad research literature related to this phenomenon we found two lines of theorizing and research that describe the same phenomenon, but could not
