S, facts and trends shaping your ans, politics and science cary funk and lee of the key trends in public opinion over the past few decades has been a growing divide among republicans and democrats into ideologically uniform “silos. A larger share of the american public expresses issue positions that are either consistently liberal or conservative today than did so two decades ago, and there is more alignment between ideological orientation and party t this broader backdrop, some have come to worry that many – if not all – the issues connected to science are viewed by the public through a political lens.
However, the pew research center finds in a new analysis of public opinion on a broad set of science-related topics that the role of party and ideological differences is not uniform. 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. At the same time, there are factors other than political party and ideology that shape the public’s often-complex views on science matters. For instance there are notable issues on which racial and generational differences are pronounced, separate and apart from better understand the multiple influences on people’s attitudes and beliefs, this report uses statistical modeling to characterize the factors most strongly associated with people’s opinions on these topics. These techniques parse the independent effect of multiple factors at the same time, allowing us to understand with more clarity where traits such as political party, age and race – three important factors in opinion that overlap in meaningful ways in the united states —individually are the key patterns that emerge in our analysis:Party and ideology matter when it comes to climate, energy, government funding of cs are at the center of people’s views about several of today’s most hot-button scientific issues, especially those surrounding climate, energy policy, and the government’s role in funding science initiatives. By contrast, only 43% of republicans and leaning republicans expressed support for prioritizing alternative energy production over traditional energy r set of topics where consistent differences along party and ideological lines occur are views about government funding of the science and engineering enterprise. A considerably smaller majority of the gop and independents who lean to the gop see benefits from government funding of basic science; 62% say government investments pay off in the long run, but 33% say such investments are not worth it. Political differences on these topics are consistent with party and ideological differences about government spending more broadly, whether related to science or to other political differences are at the center of people’s views on climate and energy issues, there are a host of other science issues where political factors either share influence with other traits or simply don’t matter. Those other independent predictors of people’s views include their religious affiliation, age, level of education, specific science knowledge and gender. 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.
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. Statistical modeling shows there are substantial differences between younger and older americans that are independent of people’s political beliefs, education levels or other factors. Apart from their political preferences, older adults also express more support for nuclear power and offshore oil drilling, and they are more likely to prioritize fossil fuel development over alternative energy sources such as wind and solar onally, people’s beliefs about evolution are influenced by a host of factors, one of which is age. 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. 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. 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. Those with more science knowledge are especially likely to see bioengineered artificial organs for human transplant as an appropriate use of medical are only a handful of topics where the impact of either education or science knowledge is classified as a “strong” factor in predicting the public’s views. 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. The pew research analysis also estimated the differences in people’s views when looking at the combined effect of education and science knowledge. This gives readers another way to gauge the relative impact of education and science knowledge, overall.
Some of the largest differences between those with higher education and greater science knowledge, compared with those with less education and science knowledge are views about the safety of eating gm foods and views about the use of animals in scientific of note is that the role of education and knowledge on people’s attitudes about science-related topics may be complex. 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. Among those with more science knowledge, 79% say scientists generally agree that humans have evolved over time, compared with 54% among those with less science knowledge. 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. In such cases, the analysis likely understates the total effect of education and knowledge in explaining people’s n differences occur between men and women on animal research, genetically modified foods, food grown with pesticides, energy policies, space are a number of science-related topics where men and women hold different views. And men are more likely than women to see gm foods and foods grown with pesticides as safe to r, there are notable differences between men and women on energy issues, which are statistically independent from other factors. At the same time, there are some biomedical issues about which men and women hold similar views (including opinion about childhood vaccines and access to experimental drug treatments) and a few where gender differences are not statistically significant once other factors are accounted for (such as views about bioengineered artificial organs). However, the share of women varies substantially across fields and has been on the rise over the past decade, particularly in the life sciences, engineering and the physical e a gap between men and women in their views on a range of science topics, and their interest in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (stem) fields, men and women are about equally likely to express support for government funding of basic science, engineering and technology, and to consider our investment in the space station good for the race and ethnicity matter: global warming, experimental drugs, the impact of population are several science topics where wide differences among racial and ethnic groups emerge. African americans also are more likely than either whites or hispanics to say we will find ways to stretch our natural resources such that the growing world population will not pose a major ous beliefs and practices affect views on evolution, big bang, but elsewhere have a limited influence on americans’ r oft-discussed factor in people’s beliefs about science topics concerns the role of religion. 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.
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. 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.
