摘要
This study presents an analysis of psychologists' implicit theories of what makes an article influential in psychology. The study opens with a review of some alternative approaches to assessing the influence of articles. Next, the article discusses alternative conceptions of influence. Then a study that assesses the factors underlying impact is described. Six factors are identified: Quality of Presentation, Theoretical Significance, Practical Significance, Substantive Interest, Methodological Interest, and Value for Future Research. These findings are then discussed in terms of the theories presented earlier.
