New findings on *populism & trust in science* The study we conducted with Adam Peresman @thoruplars.bsky.social & @m-b-petersen.bsky.social shows: -> Citizens with populist views trust scientists more than they trust politicians, government, regulatory agencies & society 🧵(1/4)

The article is part of the mixed-methods REACTOR project funded by the Independent Research Fund Denmark analyzing citizens' resistance to (or acceptance of) expertise across 5 countries (US, UK, Netherlands, Czech Republic and Denmark) in both surveys and in-depth qualitative interviews 5/5

We also found that populists are more likely to judge expert advice as poorly reasoned and as politically biased, which seems to be what drives their judgements about when to listen to expertise 4/5

Populists are generally less willing to accept expert advice, but importantly, they do respond to good arguments just as much as non-populists even if starting from a lower baseline of trust in science and expertise 3/5

We seek to understand what persuades populist and non-populist voters to accept expert advice when confronted with policy problems (immigration, climate) or personal life decisions (home birth, transgender child) 2/5

Have populists turned against reason and stopped listening to science and expertise? New article out in @polstudies.bsky.social with Adam Peresman, @honoratam.bsky.social and @m-b-petersen.bsky.social investigates this question in a 5-country experimental study doi.org/10.1177/0032... 1/5
