Does Engagement in Advocacy Hurt the Credibility of Scientists? Results from a Randomized National Survey Experiment (2017, background): “With regard to the issue of climate change, these studies and others find that conservatives tend to be less trusting of climate science compared to liberals (Kahan et al., 2011; McCright & Dunlap, 2011; Myers et al., 2016; Nisbet et al., 2015).”
Political Attitudes and the Processing of Misinformation Corrections (2018, background): “Moreover, Nisbet, Cooper, and Garrett (2015) found that when presented with worldview-dissonant scientific information, participants responded with counter-arguing, reactance, and negative affect irrespective of their political persuasion (also see Washburn & Skitka, in press).”
No Replication, No Trust? How Low Replicability Influences Trust in Psychology (2019, background): “Moreover, prior research showed that the used trust in psychology measure is affected by dissonant science communication (Nisbet et al., 2015), so it could be particularly suitable to capture potential effects of (expected) low replicability.”
Psychological Reactance From Reading Basic Facts on Climate Change: The Role of Prior Views and Political Identification (2018, methodology): “Finally, Nisbet et al. (2015) found that resistance to persuasive messages served as a mediating variable between scientific messages and trust in scientists.”
Climate change as a polarizing cue: Framing effects on public support for low-carbon energy policies (2018, background): “Prior research offers abundant evidence for motivated reasoning in response to information about climate change (e.g., Hart and Nisbet, 2012; Kahan et al., 2012; Nisbet et al., 2015).”
You are fake news: political bias in perceptions of fake news (2020, result): “In general, this finding complements existing research that partisan bias occurs on both sides of the political spectrum (Ditto et al., 2018; Nisbet et al., 2015) and that liberals and conservatives both perceive media bias (Stroud and Lee, 2013).”
The Genesis of the Birther Rumor: Partisanship, Racial Attitudes, and Political Knowledge (2018, background): “…has found that individuals are more likely to take up conspiracies consistent with their political ideology or party identification (Berinsky 2017; Miller, Saunders, and Farhart 2016; Nisbet, Cooper, and Garrett 2015; Nyhan 2009; Oliver and Wood 2014; Pasek et al. 2014; Uscinski and Parent 2014).”
