我们认为,科学界经常向社会提供知识--艾滋病毒病毒导致艾滋病,人为气候变化正在进行,MMR疫苗是安全的。然而,一些人否认我们拥有这种知识,并努力削弱其他人的这种知识。通常(但并非没有争议)将这类代理人称为“否定论者”。因此,乍一看,否认似乎是一种怀疑主义。但是,尽管我们知道各种否定论者压制信仰的策略通常是有效的,但我们对哪种策略最有效却知之甚少。我们认为这是朝着补救措施迈出的重要的第一步。本文利用对不同形式的哲学怀疑论的近似比较,设计了一项实验测试,以检验四种广泛的否认策略在压制特定科学主张中的信念的有效性。我们的研究结果表明,自信策略比质疑策略更能有效地抑制信念。
The scientific community, we hold, often provides society with knowledge—that the HIV virus causes AIDS, that anthropogenic climate change is underway, that the MMR vaccine is safe. Some deny that we have this knowledge, however, and work to undermine it in others. It has been common (but not uncontroversial) to refer to such agents as “denialists”. At first glance, then, denialism appears to be a form of skepticism. But while we know that various denialist strategies for suppressing belief are generally effective, little is known aboutwhichstrategies are most effective. We see this as an important first step toward their remediation. This paper leverages the approximate comparison to various forms of philosophical skepticism to design an experimental test of the efficacy of four broad strategies of denial at suppressing belief in specific scientific claims. Our results suggest that assertive strategies are more effective at suppressing belief than questioning strategies.
