La asistencia a cursos de investigacion se relaciona con la edad (r=-0.216, p=0.003) y grado academico (rs=0.348, p=0.000). La organizacion de la vida personal se asocia con numero de investigaciones (r=-0.190, p=0.01) y asistencia a cursos de investigacion (r=-0.366, p=0.003); el desarrollo profesional se asocia mas con motivacion (r=0.487, p=0.000).
