Can the study filed change the researcher who is studying/working on that field to be included in a circle of similarities with other researcher who is studying/ working on the same field?
If this right, Kindly can every researcher state his field study/ work and explain what is the most feature of the researchers who working on same field?
Dear Esraa,
I do not think so.
We are scientists and we can work in many fields of science even if we are specialized in only one field.
I am ,for example, an Entomologist and I am interested in everything related to insects and in the same time I like music, arts, sports and many other things.
We must not included in such circle of similarities as you said because this will reduce our energy and activity.
This is my opinion, may someone has another opinion!! no problem
By the way, where are you from?
Regards,
Wafaa
Is there any relationship between the features of the researcher and his/her study field?
I think there is a relationship between a researcher's features & the field of his / her study. Reason being the researcher's features (including competency, preferences, attitudes, behaviors etc.) will motivate him / her to embark on something that s/he can deliver best.
However, a researcher might have numerous features / multiple interests that enable him / her to pursue several fields of studies at the same time.
Also, a researcher's progressive exposure / experience can cause him / her to change his / her world view etc. that might change his / her study fields from time to time. Opposite is true also for some researchers who are passionate enough to focus only on one field of study throughout his / her career without exploring other field.
Moreover, some researchers might be talented in certain field of study e.g. engineering but some how due to family financial constraints, s/he might pursue other field of study like accounting which incurred lower cost but s/he still can deliver her best result.
Thank you Dr. Wafaa, Dr. Napoleon, Dr. Khan and Dr. Han for the interesting answers. The viewpoints are different in spite of that it look right and logic.
Dear Dr. Wafaa, I am form Jordan, studying PhD in Malaysia. I recommend you to visit Malaysia, it is the most country which has a rich source of insects. When I capture a new pictures of any of them I will share with you. Are you interested in specific insects?
Thank you Esraa for your invitation. You are lucky to be present in that nice place.
I like to share with you the nice pictures of insects especially beetles.
I am glad to know someone like you through RG.
By the way, why did you ask such question?
In general, a scientist can innovate and excel in her/his field of study or in a related field. A scientist specialized in Business Administration cannot conduct a research in Engineering or in Medicine.
I afraid, I got the question right but, based on whatever I could follow from the question and the answers, I would like to say that probably the answer is both 'Yes' as well as 'NO' !!
Yes, a person need to get associated with people of one's own research area as doing this the researcher can share his/her findings with other researchers working in that field, get feedback/ guidance/ input from them etc.
But, NO, the researcher need not to change himself/herself according to his/her field of research. Because, a researcher/scientist is not all about his/her study in a single or limited number of fields rather a person is an integration of many other prospect of life ( hobbies/ passions/ priorities etc etc) and based on ones own personality and personal preferences one can choose to be in many social circles (needless to say that multiple research circles as well)..
Once again, I would like to say that, I may not have followed the question correctly and I may be forgiven if my perspective is incoherent to the question.
many a time RG portal hangs when i try to submit an answer forcing me to rewrite or skip! So this time I preferred taking the screenshot and attaching!
@Priyadarsini: A true researcher, from whatever filed may be, probably will have too little time to get involved in politics! That is the reason, many a time we see, good researchers not being that highly successful in their social life (even sometimes climbing through their career graphs)...
True researchers, irrespective of their fields, also will be a bit isolated kind of people (unless they are into some primary data collection / survey activities) as they need to concentrate more on reviewing and developing ideas.
Dear Dr. Esraa,
I agree with Minati Mishra. Researcher's personality are so different because it is almost dedicated to scientific activity.
This could make an obvious difference despite the field of study. I think it is all about time. Life is to short for so many achievements one's aiming to.
Best regards
