The collective responses reveal a strong interest in Lewandowsky's research, with many posts referencing the study's core findings about conspiracy ideation's role in science rejection. The tone varies from analytical to supportive, with examples such as mentions of how conspiracy beliefs correlate with climate denial and vaccine skepticism, and references to related articles showing a high level of intellectual engagement. Word choices like 'strongly associated' and phrases like 'research confirms' reflect a consensus on the study's significance and influence in understanding social science dynamics.
Most posts acknowledge the research's findings, especially the link between conspiracy thinking and rejection of science, indicating general agreement.
Discussions show high engagement with the topic, citing specific studies and emphasizing the significance of the findings.
Comments include analysis of the research methods, references to related studies, and reflections on social implications, demonstrating moderate to deep engagement.
The discussions highlight the importance of understanding conspiracy ideation in science communication and policy, implying a recognition of its societal influence.
Abstract in brief
- Trust in science has been declining among American Conservatives since the 1970s, particularly regarding climate science, with Conservatives more likely to reject global warming claims compared to Liberals.
- A survey revealed that a conservative and free-market worldview strongly predicts rejection of climate science, while their influence on acceptance of vaccinations is weaker; opposition to GM foods does not correlate significantly with these worldviews.
- Conspiracist ideation predicts rejection of all three scientific propositions—climate science, GM foods, and vaccinations—indicating that belief in conspiracy theories undermines acceptance of scientific findings, which has important implications for how science is communicated to the public.

Two Duke researchers pubbed an insight into the largely US conservative phenomenon of “climate denial.” Previous papers hypothesized why it happened, ranging from conservatives being more likely to tune out “negative stimuli,” “motivated reasoning” and proneness to conspiracy-thinking. [

@AnushkaOpa @drluebbers Zumindest im US-amerikanischen Raum scheint das Stereotyp von "Impfgegnerschaft als Wissenschaftsleugnung der Linken" nicht wirklich zuzutreffen ( https://t.co/YD2JudBN6T).

@EricsElectrons Yeah, people have looked into in and basically come to the same conclusion. Arguably some aspects of paranoia towards authority/powerful groups was more a right thing, but more and more equally distributed I’d say. https://t.co/Z1Bf3DAUmL

@swcrisis Even the psychologists and social scientists have investigated the workings of the denier 'brain'. What they find is a fascinating predilection for believing any old conspiracy theory. The sillier, the better. Have you been contacted for study? https://t.co/kMiUHUJZMS
