So I seek to promote an #OpenScience culture within #CommunicationStudies by sharing code and publishing #OpenAccess – and conducting research on #reproduciblity and #replication, yet from a #SocialScience perspective: @mss7676 @riziegler@twitter.com @m_weisskopf@twitter.com and I analyzed German survey data to examine public perceptions of the #ReplicationCrisis: https://doi.org/10.1177/0963662520954370

I teamed up w/ @mss7676 @j_metag and @KlingerKira@twitter.com (to name only some) and used the SciPop Scale in further surveys:
🦠 SciPop declined in #Switzerland after the pandemic started: https://doi.org/10.1177/09636625211056871
🤨 SciPop correlates with low #trust in science: https://doi.org/10.3389/fcomm.2021.822757
🔗 SciPop links to less science knowledge and opposition to left-leaning views: https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0271204

We developed a #survey scale for this: We reviewed existing #research, selected items useful to measure the four components of our concept – and added new items 🔧
Then we tested these items in two representative surveys in #Switzerland. Analyses led us to 8 items measuring science-related populist attitudes (the “SciPop Scale”, see image) 📏

Together w/ @mss7676 I conceptualized science-related populism as a set of ideas claiming that “ordinary people” and common sense are superior to academic elites and allegedly useless scientific knowledge 😠
So science-related populism suggests that #scientists and #experts have illegitimate power to determine “true knowledge” – as such power should be with the people 💢

We published this concept #OpenAccess here: https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/0963662520924259 #MyPublications
