摘要
This study examines the factors influencing public and experts’ attitudes toward nanotechnology. Compared with the experts, the public judged nanotechnology as having greater risks and lesser benefits, and indicated less support for federal funding of nanotechnology. Experts used trust in scientists while public used religious beliefs as heuristic cues to make risk judgments. Although deference to scientific authority, science media use, and trust in scientists shaped perceived benefits in both groups, these heuristic cues influenced public perceptions to a larger extent than experts’ perceptions. Experts used relatively less cues to form decision about funding support for nanotechnology as compared with the public.
中文摘要
这项研究考察了影响公众和专家对纳米技术态度的因素。与专家相比，公众认为纳米技术风险更大，收益更少，并表示对联邦资助纳米技术的支持更少。专家们利用对科学家的信任，而公众则利用宗教信仰作为启发式线索来做出风险判断。尽管对科学权威的尊重、科学媒体的使用和对科学家的信任塑造了这两组人的感知利益，但这些启发式线索比专家的感知更大程度地影响了公众的感知。与公众相比，专家们在决定为纳米技术提供资金支持时使用的线索相对较少。
