Reducing the Administrative Demands of the Science Curiosity Scale: A Validation Study
Science curious people—those who enjoy consuming science-related information—are less likely to hold politically polarized views about contentious science. Consequently, science curiosity is of great interest to scholars across the social sciences. However, measuring science curiosity via the science curiosity scale (SCS) is time intensive; potentially impeding its widespread usage. We present two new methods for reducing SCS administration time.…
The Oxford Handbook of the Science of Science Communication
The cross-disciplinary Oxford Handbook on the Science of Science Communication contains 47 essays by 57 leading scholars organized into six sections: The first section establishes the need for a science of science communication, provides an overview of the area, examines sources of science knowledge and the ways in which changing media structures affect it, reveals what the public thinks about science, and situates current scientific controversie…
Participatory Policymaking Across Cultural Cognitive Divides: Two Tests of Cultural Biasing in Public Forum Design and Deliberation
Deliberative theorists posit that highly structured face‐to‐face policy discussions can transcend ideological differences. By contrast, cultural cognitive theorists argue that people's cultural orientations constrain policy‐relevant information processing and forestall the public's ability to reach consensus. Two studies examine whether deliberative processes can span divergent cultural orientations. The first assesses a prominent deliberative fo…
Why we are poles apart on climate change
This book describes the effects of the increasing concentration of greenhouse gases and the potential for climate change and impact on agriculture and hydrology. Projections are based on insights from both numerical models and empirical methods. The book reviews climates of the distant and recent past and the results of climate models seeking lessons that can help project future climate. Extensive paleoclimatic studies emphasized by U.S. scientis…
The Cultural Orientation of Mass Political Opinion
Most Americans lack any substantial degree of ideological sophistication (Kinder 1998), yet they often manage to express coherent views across a range of issues. The conventional explanation for this is that people rely on judgmental shortcuts (e.g., Sniderman, Brody, and Tetlock 1991). These “heuristics” permit individuals with sufficient political sophistication to sort and filter incoming messages to form relatively consistent views that align…
