Modeling Risk Perceptions, Benefit Perceptions, and Approval of Releasing Genetically Engineered Mosquitoes as a Response to Zika Virus
Public opinion regarding genetic control of infectious disease vectors such as mosquitoes varies in part because the underlying risk and benefit perceptions about novel gene editing and genetic engineering (GE) techniques are multi-faceted. We designed a survey of the US population (N = 1137) to unpack some of those complexities. Of particular interest was modeling the constituent attitudes and perceptions that contribute to individuals’ approval…
A Recap
Science is communicated in a rapidly evolving media environment, characterized by Part Five’s three themes: politicization of science issues; fusion of science, narrative, and entertainment; and the rise of satirical news programs and late night comedies. Media reports about science in general are more fragmented, politicized, and, because of the capacity to access reports from scientific organizations directly, in some instances, more sophistica…
Understanding and Overcoming Fear of the Unnatural in Discussion of GMOs
Fear of the unnatural plays an important role when evaluating a powerful technology such as genetic engineering. Several factors contribute to fear of the unnatural, including heuristics and predispositions. This chapter examines the availability heuristic, affect heuristic, and naturalistic fallacy. It also discusses predispositions such as environmentalism, disgust sensitivity, morality, and anxiety and how fear of the unnatural—if inconsistent…
Does television cultivate narcissism? Relationships between television exposure, preferences for specific genres, and subclinical narcissism
Killing characters in video games kills memory for in-game ads
Evolutionary theory predicts that people attend to emotionally arousing cues at the expense of less arousing cues. Violence is one emotionally arousing cue that attracts attention away from less arousing cues located in the same visual environment. Previous research has shown that violent media content attracts attention at the expense of brands advertised during violent media content. We predicted that participants who played a video game violen…
Do sex and violence sell? A meta-analytic review of the effects of sexual and violent media and ad content on memory, attitudes, and buying intentions
It is commonly assumed that sex and violence sell. However, we predicted that sex and violence would have the opposite effect. We based our predictions on the evolution and emotional arousal theoretical framework, which states that people are evolutionarily predisposed to attend to emotionally arousing cues such as sex and violence. Thus, sexual and violent cues demand more cognitive resources than nonsexual and nonviolent cues. Using this framew…
