| Summary: | The essay discusses the results of a survey conducted in 2009 among Bruno Kessler Foundation (FBK) researchers about the alleged division between the «two cultures». The main goal of the quantitative inquiry was to ascertain the reciprocal attitudes of members of FBK large scientifi c community and their positions regarding interdisciplinary collaboration. The study originated from a refl ection on the relationship between «soft» and «hard» sciences, an issue which has been at the center of a great theoretical debate for nearly two centuries, but a debate that was largely based on anecdotal evidence rather than strictly empirical evidence. The topics discussed in the article are: (a) the researchers’ sense of belonging to the scientifi c community/ies; and (b) their cognitive, emotional, and behavioral attitudes toward the «other» culture and, more specifi cally, their attitudes regarding cross-disciplinary collaborations. A gender perspective was also adopted in order to investigate the non-homogeneity of the scientifi c community. |
