Predicting trust in science in the context of COVID-19 pandemic [Elektronski vir] : the role of sociodemographics and social media useZelič, Žan ; Berič, Martin ; Kobal Grum, DarjaResearch in the context of COVID-19 pandemic has consistently shown that scientific distrust adversely affects health-related behavior. Therefore, the aim of our study was to identify the risk ... factors for the development of scientific distrust, with emphasis on the role of sociodemographic variables and social media use. A convenience sample of 490 Slovene speaking individuals was used to perform hierarchical linear regression analysis. In line with our hypotheses, the results showed that trust in science was negatively correlated with age, religiosity and use of social media as an information source about COVID-19, while it was positively correlated with male gender and total years of formal education. When only sociodemographic variables were entered into the prediction model, each of them explained a significant proportion of the variance in trust in science. However, after the inclusion of social media use, religiosity was no longer a significant predictor. In contrast to our expectations, the results also showed no significant interaction between education and social media use when predicting trust in science. Our findings are further discussed and additional implications are provided.Type of material - conference contributionPublish date - 2022Language - englishCOBISS.SI-ID - 132604163
