But now this question is cleared up, researchers must begin to deal with more pressing questions, Allum says. "The argument should move on."
His finding cannot, for example, show whether better science education will increase general support for the field. This is because researchers have yet to figure out whether people who learn more about science then tend to like it or, on the contrary, whether people who already like and support science are simply tend to learn further facts.
And a person's level of scientific knowledge actually goes a very tiny way towards explaining their attitudes towards science. Allum believes that there are probably far more important factors, such as their moral values, religious beliefs and political leaning.
And people's trust in science may be influenced by how tightly regulated they believe the process to be in their country. This might explain, in part, why those living in different countries tend to hold different attitudes: Europeans tend to be more doubtful of genetically modified crops than those in the United States, for example.
Finally, science lovers hope to strengthen support for the field, but it looks as if simple science education will not be enough. As Allum says: "It's all horribly complicated."
53. In Allum’s opinion, ______ will have little influence on a person’s attitude towards science.
A. scientific knowledge
