Hi Dario,
The combination of the choices:
Strongly discourages me Discourages me Neither motivates me nor
discourages me Motivates me Strongly motivates me No answer
With statements such as:
Editing Wikipedia may undermine my scientific reputation
Leaves no option for people who don't consider that editing Wikipedia
would harm their Academic reputation. I suspect that few people are
motivated or strongly motivated to edit by the prospect of damaging
their scientific reputation. But I would hope that some if not most
would consider that Editing Wikipedia would not undermine their
scientific reputation (providing that is that they edited
responsibly).
I think a more useful and neutral question would be to ask if people
agreed or disagreed with the statement
Editing Wikipedia may undermine my scientific reputation
Though I'd prefer something much more along the lines of
If you were to edit Wikipedia, what effect do you think this would
have on your scientific reputation?
Very negative - negative - neutral/no effect - positive - very positive
