鉴于信任在向公众传播有关环境的科学信息中起着关键作用，本研究探讨了如何解释对此类信息的特定来源的信任。在这样做的时候，它分析是否，如果是这样，如何政治意识形态，支持环境监管，宗教信仰，对人民的信任，对政府的信任预测对科学家的信任，环境保护局，环保组织，新闻媒体，科学媒体。它还研究了对科学家的信任是否与对其他来源的信任有关，后者如何利用前者的可信度。
Given that trust plays a key role in the communication of scientific information about the environment to the public, this study examines what explains trust in specific sources of such information. In doing so, it analyzes whether-and, if so, how-political ideology, support for environmental regulation, religiosity, trust in people, and trust in government predict trust in scientists, the Environmental Protection Agency, environmental organizations, news media, and science media. It also examines whether trust in scientists is associated with trust in the other sources in light of how each of the latter draws on the credibility of the former.
