Those other independent predictors of people’s views include their religious affiliation, age, level of education, specific science knowledge and gender. Our findings show that people with more science knowledge are more inclined than those with less knowledge to consider scientists as largely in agreement about the topic of evolution, for example.

Since people’s beliefs about evolution are influenced by their perceptions of scientific consensus, the total role of science knowledge in shaping a person’s opinion likely operates indirectly through beliefs about scientific consensus as well as directly through beliefs about whether humans have evolved over time. Please tell your colleagues about the virtual issue as well– we want to spread the word as widely as possible about the great research that is reported within the pages of the american journal of political science!

This focus on political differences on some science issues may have obscured the also striking influence that other factors apart from politics are tied to public remainder of the summary of findings examines key factors in public attitudes about science tional gaps often are large and politics, there are persistent gaps on many science topics tied to generational differences.

At the same time, people’s religious differences do not play a central role in their beliefs about a range of other science topics including some in the realm of biomedical issues. Furthermore, there are no differences between the major party and ideology groups on views about the use of animals in research, the safety of eating genetically modified foods and whether to allow access to experimental drug treatments before those treatments have been shown to be safe and findings in this analysis are in keeping with past pew research and other polls that showed over the past decade that strong political differences among adults affect their views on climate and energy policy topics.

Those with more science knowledge are more likely than those with less knowledge to say eating genetically modified (gm) foods and eating foods grown with pesticides are safe.

On the issues we probed here, people’s educational levels or knowledge of science sometimes do explain some of the variance in public attitudes on issues like these:The use of animals in safety of eating genetically modified n about building more nuclear power ically, the more education people have, the more likely they are to favor the use of animals in scientific research, to consider genetically modified foods as generally safe to eat and to favor building more nuclear power plants.

But, the multivariate analysis shows that educational attainment is not statistically significant once other factors are controlled and science knowledge is classified as having a “medium” effect in predicting people’s views. These repeated top scores on two of the most widely-recognized publication metrics confirm the stature of the american journal of political science as one of the premiere outlets for high-quality research in the social sciences.

We will have more to say about the intersection of religious beliefs and science in a follow-up report to pew research center’s 2014 report “political polarization in the american public. These are all positions shared by a majority of those connected with the american association for the advancement of pew research survey included a set of six science knowledge questions in order to evaluate whether people who know more about science, regardless of how much formal schooling they have had, hold different attitudes about science topics.

Scopes, popularly referred to as the scopes “monkey” trial of analysis in this report shows that religious differences in affiliation and worship service attendance come to the fore for some science topics, particularly beliefs about human evolution and perceptions of scientific consensus related to evolution or the creation of the universe.

Americans’ political leanings are a strong factor in their views about issues such as climate change and energy policy, but much less of a factor when it comes to issues such as food safety, space travel and biomedicine. Am very happy to announce that, for the second year in a row, the american journal of political science has received the highest scores in the discipline on two of the most widely recognized publication metrics.
