Trust in science, a generational comparison
Where trust in science parts between generations is examined comparatively, with one and the same question set. The round is run under the framework of the first institutional trust round.
Purpose and scope
Trust in science and in expertise is broken down by generation, and it is tested whether the split follows the question or the group. Findings are kept comparable with the institutional trust measurement.
The same question set is repeated across generation groups; groups and weighting are set out in the method annex. The field schedule is announced after the first round.
