中文简介:
本报告将简要回顾定量和定性数据,这些数据表明纳米技术当前公众舆论环境的总体基调,然后确定可能影响人们如何处理任何新技术信息的关键因素。这包括他们自己的基本价值观、对关键社会参与者的信任程度、他们与以前遇到的技术的联系,以及来自媒体账户的信息。公众对潜在风险的概念通常比正式风险评估中常见的概念更为广泛,包括社会风险,如破坏、转移、隐私、分配、监管等,以及对人类健康和环境完整性的风险。虽然媒体在许多人中只是一种影响力,但他们经常被指责夸大某些风险而忽视其他风险。我们将回顾发展一种理论的进展,这种理论可以预测何时发生并解释为什么会发生这种情况。
课程简介: This presentation will briefly review quantitative and qualitative data that suggest the general tenor of the current public opinion climate for nanotechnologies, and then identify the key factors that can be expected to affect how people cope with information about any new technology. These include their own underlying values, their levels of trust in key social actors, and the connections they identify with technologies previously encountered, as well as information from media accounts. Public conceptions of potential risks are often broader than those commonly identified in formal risk assessments, encompassing "social risks" such as disruption, displacement, privacy, distribution, regulation, and so on, as well as risks to human health and environmental integrity. While media are only one influence among many, they are regularly accused of exaggerating some risks while ignoring others. Progress toward developing a theory that might predict when and explain why this occurs will be reviewed.
