This article investigates the impact science communication training has on engagement intentions through a parallel multiple mediation model. Theory of planned behavior variables for internal efficacy, response efficacy, norms, and attitudes are examined as potential mediators. Based on a survey of randomly selected scientists from universities in the Association of American Universities, results indicate indirect effects for internal efficacy and attitudes toward the audience and consistent direct effects found in earlier research. This research provides a more comprehensive examination of how communication training contributes to scientists’ public engagement activity.

培训对科学家公众参与意图的贡献：使用平行多重中介的间接关系测试

本文通过平行多重中介模型研究了科学传播培训对参与意图的影响。内部效能、反应效能、规范和态度的计划行为变量理论被视为潜在的中介因素。根据对美国大学协会大学随机选择的科学家的调查，结果表明内部效能和对观众的态度的间接影响以及早期研究中发现的一致直接影响。这项研究更全面地考察了传播培训如何促进科学家的公众参与活动。
