Who Mistrusts Science?
From 1974 to 2010, “group differences in trust in science are largely stable…except for respondents identifying as conservative. Conservatives began the period with the highest trust in science, relative to liberals and moderates, and ended the period with the lowest.”
Gauchat, American Sociological Review, 2012

Who Trusts Science?
77% of respondents said they trust scientists to tell the truth, compared to less than 20% who thought the President would.

What Fuels Mistrust of Science?
The argument goes something like this: Science is self-correcting, so it takes care of its own mistakes. And scientific fraud is rare, so focusing on misconduct gives a distorted picture of research that will only give ammunition to critics, who want to cast doubt on subjects such as climate change and vaccine safety.
Marcus and Oransky, Lab Times, 9/12

What Really Fuels Mistrust of Science?
It’s not the crime, it’s the cover-up. People stop trusting institutions when they continue to insist “Move along, nothing to see here”, despite the stubborn persistence of misconduct.
