Across three studies (total N = 952), we tested how self-admitted use of psychedelics and association with psychedelic culture affects the public’s evaluation of researchers’ scientific integrity and of the quality of their research. In Studies 1 and 2, we found that self-admitted substance use negatively affected people’s assessment of a fictitious researcher’s integrity (i.e. being unbiased, professional, and honest), but not of the quality of his research, or how much value and significance they ascribed to the findings. Study 3, however, found that an association with psychedelic culture (i.e. presenting work at a scientific conference that includes social activities stereotypically associated with psychedelic culture) negatively affected perceived research quality (e.g. less valid, true, unbiased). We further found that the latter effect was moderated by participants’ personal experience with psychedelic substances: only participants without such experience evaluated research quality more negatively when it was presented in a stereotyped context.

跨越三项研究（共N= 952），我们测试了自我承认使用迷幻药以及与迷幻文化的关联如何影响公众对研究人员的科学诚信和研究质量的评价。在研究 1 和 2 中，我们发现自我承认的药物使用会负面影响人们对虚构研究人员的诚信（即公正、专业和诚实）的评估，但不会影响他的研究质量，或者他们的价值和意义有多大。归因于调查结果。然而，研究 3 发现，与迷幻文化的关联（即在科学会议上展示的工作包括与迷幻文化相关的刻板社会活动）对感知的研究质量产生负面影响（例如，有效性较低、真实、公正）。
