Experimental Psychology on Manipulation - Dictionary of Arguments
Parisi I 118 Manipulation/Experimental Psychology/Wilkinson-Ryan: Cultural cognition research has also begun to document differential effects of experimental manipulations by group. In a study of the role of cultural differences in perceptions of climate change science, Kahan et al. (2015)(1) randomly assigned participants in a survey study to read either an irrelevant technology-related article or an article about the potential for geoengineering to reduce the effects of carbon dioxide emissions and thereby stem global warming. The dependent variable was subjects' attitudes toward a second article on the science of climate change. Liberals: Simplifying slightly, the liberals who read the geoengineering article were essentially unmoved - they were no less likely to believe or disbelieve that climate change is happening and is caused at least in part by humans. Conservatives: Conservatives, on the other hand, were skeptical of climate change science if they did not read about geoengineering, but when they were primed with the possibility of a market-based technological solution to global warming, they were more willing to believe the science of global warming is reliable. Results: Thus, the research showed that open-mindedness toward scientific evidence depended in part on whether individuals believed that the consequences of believing the evidence Parisi I 119 would require action that conflicted with the individuals' own worldviews (e.g., for conservatives, government regulation of pollution). >Political orientation/Experimental psychology, >Decision-making/Experimental Psychology, >Cultural differences/Experimental Psychology. 1.
