Abstract
One hundred grant principal investigators rated the ethicality of and their willingness to engage in various Questionable Research Practices (QRPs). Participants rated data analytic- and scientific reporting-related QRPs more defensible and communicated greater willingness to engage in such QRPs. Researchers’ rationalization of QRPs predicted their willingness to engage in them.
