：确定成功传播用于决策的科学信息的决定因素一直是许多领域长期关注的一个主题。在许多学科中，对信息和信使可信度的看法被认为是决策者接受信息和随后改变态度的关键。偏见似乎也是可信度的一个组成部分，但在理论上没有明确的定义，其影响可能看起来不一致。这项研究包括与能源，环境和科学投资组合（n=16）国会工作人员的采访发现，偏见和专业知识的看法在决策者评估科学信息来源的方式中发挥着至关重要的作用，建立在早期研究的可信度和意见的变化。
: Identifying the determinants of success in communicating scientific information for use in policymaking has been a topic of longstanding interest for many fields. Perceptions of message and messenger credibility are recognized in many disciplines as key to information receptivity, and subsequent changes in attitudes, by decision-makers. Bias also appears as a component of credibility, but is not theoretically well-defined, and its effects can appear inconsistent. This study—comprised of interviews with congressional staff members with energy, environment, and science portfolios (n=16)—finds that perceptions of bias and expertise play a critical role in the way in which policymakers evaluate scientific information sources, building on early research on credibility and opinion change.
