Science Denial: Why it happens and what to do about it
"Understanding key psychological explanations for science denial and doubt can help provide a means for improving scientific literacy and understanding—critically important at a time when denial has become deadly. In "Science Denial: Why It Happens and What to Do About It," the authors identify the problem and why it matters and offer tools for addressing it. ... The authors focus on key psychological constructs such as reasoning biases, social identity, epistemic cognition, and emotions and attitudes that limit or facilitate public understanding of science, and describe solutions for individuals, educators, science communicators, and policy makers."
