In the United States, an ideological and partisan divide in beliefs about science is well documented. In this study, we further examine this partisan divide and how this relationship is conditioned on levels of political interest and news consumption. Analyzing data from three nationally representative U.S. surveys, we replicate past research and find ideological divisions in evaluations of, and beliefs about, science and scientists. We then show that greater interest in politics and news consumption is more strongly related to positive beliefs about science and scientists among liberals than among moderates and conservatives.

对政治和新闻消费的兴趣在美国政治意识形态与科学和科学家信仰之间的关系中的调节作用

在美国，关于科学信仰的意识形态和党派分歧是有据可查的。在这项研究中，我们进一步研究了这种党派分歧，以及这种关系如何以政治兴趣和新闻消费水平为条件。通过分析三项具有全国代表性的美国调查的数据，我们复制了过去的研究，并发现了对科学和科学家的评估和信念的意识形态分歧。然后我们表明，与温和派和保守派相比，自由派对政治和新闻消费的更大兴趣与对科学和科学家的积极信念更密切相关。
