title: Testing a model of research intention among U.K. clinical psychologists: a logistic regression analysis.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  Previous research highlights barriers to clinical psychologists conducting research, but has rarely examined U.K. clinical psychologists. The study investigated U.K. clinical psychologists' self-reported research output and tested part of a theoretical model of factors influencing their intention to conduct research.
  
  
  METHODS
  Questionnaires were mailed to 1,300 U.K. clinical psychologists.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Three hundred and seventy-four questionnaires were returned (29% response-rate). This study replicated in a U.K. sample the finding that the modal number of publications was zero, highlighted in a number of U.K. and U.S. studies. Research intention was bimodally distributed, and logistic regression classified 78% of cases successfully. Outcome expectations, perceived behavioral control and normative beliefs mediated between research training environment and intention.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Further research should explore how research is negotiated in clinical roles, and this issue should be incorporated into prequalification training.
