Faculty members were alsoasked to provide their perceptions on the institution's efforts towards their research socializationin addition to other descriptive data.Correlations between several types of research activities among faculty member'sdifferent career stages were significant. Perceptions concerning socialization to the facultyposition were more positive regarding the contribution of faculty members' graduate experiencescompared to the institutional efforts.
