概括
即使是那些不信任科学或相信阴谋论的人也在很大程度上接受了基本的科学事实. 这表明有针对性的科学传播可能是有效的,而不是全面拒绝科学.
科学领域:
- 科学心理学
- 科学传播
- 公众对科学的信任
背景情况:
- 少数人不信任科学或相信阴谋论, 这可能表明他们拒绝科学.
- 了解这种不信任的基础对于有效的科学沟通至关重要.
研究的目的:
- 调查不信任科学或相信阴谋论是否与拒绝基本科学知识有关.
- 探索基于基本科学原则的科学传播策略的潜力.
主要方法:
- 四项研究调查了782名美国参与者对科学,阴谋论和基本科学事实的接受.
- 参与者得到了科学认可的答案, 并被要求接受这些答案.
主要成果:
- 科学共识的总体接受率很高 (95.1%).
- 即使在对科学信心低 (87.3%) 或强烈的阴谋信仰 (87.2%) 的小组中,接受度仍然很高.
结论:
- 基本科学的几乎普遍接受表明拒绝往往是具体的,而不是批发的.
- 这一发现可以为科学传播努力提供信息, 弥合公众理解和信任的差距.

Psychology as a Science
1.1K
Psychology, as a scientific discipline, aims to understand the mind and behavior through rigorous and systematic methods. The foundation of psychological research is evidence-based, relying heavily on the scientific method to derive and validate knowledge. This structured approach ensures that findings are reliable, valid, and applicable to broader contexts.

The Scientific Method
61.6K
Research is what makes the difference between facts and opinions. Facts are observable realities, and opinions are personal judgments, conclusions, or attitudes that may or may not be accurate. In the scientific community, facts can be established only using evidence collected through empirical research.

Hypothesis: Accept or Fail to Reject?
28.3K
The outcome of any hypothesis testing leads to rejecting or not rejecting the null hypothesis. This decision is taken based on the analysis of the data, an appropriate test statistic, an appropriate confidence level, the critical values, and P-values. However, when the evidence suggests that the null hypothesis cannot be rejected, is it right to say, 'Accept' the null hypothesis?
There are two ways to indicate that the null hypothesis is not rejected. 'Accept' the null...

The Scope of Physics
32.9K
Physics is concerned with the interactions of energy, matter, space, and time, in order to discover the underlying mechanisms that underpin all phenomena. The word "physics" comes from the Greek word "phúsis", which means nature. Physics seeks to comprehend the natural world around us at its most fundamental level. It emphasizes the use of quantitative laws to do this, which could be valuable in other fields that want to push the performance boundaries of present...

Basic Postulates of Kinetic Molecular Theory: Particle Size, Energy, and Collision
34.7K
The ideal-gas equation, which is empirical, describes the behavior of gases by establishing relationships between their macroscopic properties. For example, Charles’ law states that volume and temperature are directly related. Gases, therefore, expand when heated at constant pressure. Although gas laws explain how the macroscopic properties change relative to one another, it does not explain the rationale behind it.
