TL;DR: This paper used a secondary analysis of survey data from Germany to identify attitudes toward climate change among the German public and specify those segments of the population based on their media use and information seeking.

TL;DR: This work uses latent class analysis to reconstruct four segments: the “Sciencephiles,” with strong interest for science, extensive knowledge, and a pronounced belief in its potential, who use a variety of sources intensively; the ‘Critically Interested,’ who use similar sources but are more cautious toward them; the’Passive Supporters’ with moderate levels of interest, trust, and knowledge and tempered perceptions of science, who used fewer sources.

TL;DR: This article replicated a study from the United States, United Kingdom, and Australia to analyze whether climate change imagery appears to be similar across countries, and found that the similarity of climate change images across countries is similar across different countries.

TL;DR: The authors found that using social media for science and research is at least as likely if not more so as engagement with other topics from similarly serious to lighter domains, and found that platform matters with young adults much more likely to engage with such content on Facebook rather than on Twitter.

TL;DR: This paper developed the SciPop Scale, a survey instrument to measure science-related opulism, and tested 17 survey items in a first representative survey and developed an 8-item scale.
