Galileo challenged the prevailing geocentric view of our solar system and was dismissed as a heretic. What is the history of science denial, what's different now, and why does it seem worse? In this opening chapter, What is the Problem and Why Does it Matter? Sinatra and Hofer chart the development of this problem, examine how doubt has also been manufactured, and explain how media attempts at "balance" can become a form of bias. While acknowledging the limits and fallibility of science, they argue that if the US is to be a leader in sustainable economic and social progress, a greater percentage of Americans need to value, understand, and accept scientific methods and findings. When so many US citizens deny science, the health and wellbeing of Americans and our hopes for a sustainable future are put in peril"-- $c Provided by publisher. 505 0 $a Section I: Science denial, doubt, and resistance -- What Is The Problem And Why Does It Matter? -- How Do We Make Sense Of Science Claims Online? -- What Role Can Science Education Play? -- Section II: Five explanations for science denial, doubt, and resistance -- How Do Cognitive Biases Influence Reasoning? -- How Do Individuals Think About Knowledge And Knowing? -- What Motivates People To Question Science? -- How Do Emotions And Attitudes Influence Science Understanding? -- What Can We Do About Science Denial, Doubt, And Resistance? 650 0 $a Science $x Social aspects $z United States. 650 0 $a Science $x Political aspects $z United States. 650 0 $a Pseudoscience $z United States. 650 0 $a Disinformation $z United States. 650 6 $a Sciences $x Aspect social $z EÌtats-Unis. 650 6 $a Sciences $x Aspect politique $z EÌtats-Unis. 650 6 $a Parasciences $z EÌtats-Unis. 650 6 $a DeÌsinformation $z EÌtats-Unis. 650 7 $a Disinformation. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00895245 650 7 $a Pseudoscience. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01080912 650 7 $a Science $x Political aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01108343 650 7 $a Science $x Social aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01108360 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 700 1 $a Hofer, Barbara K., $e author. 776 08 $i Online version: $t Science denial $d New York : Oxford University Press, 2021. $z 9780190944704 $w (DLC) 2021004426 941 $a 2 952 $l OPAX566 $d 20221008011641.0 952 $l UQAX771 $d 20220601010836.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=2769EF62E17011EC82262A731FECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b JIDInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
