Abstract

Innovation research fighting for public attention and counteracting science-skeptical views raise the need for insights into why individuals are motivated to engage with scientific knowledge. Guided by the Planned Risk Information Seeking Model (PRISM), additionally considering mistrust in science and innovativeness, the study aimed to explain individuals’ intention to seek information about medical innovations. Findings of an online survey among German residents ( N = 5,322) supported the utility of the extended PRISM to predict seeking intent. Most of the postulates of the PRISM were supported; mistrust served as a barrier to engagement with scientific knowledge, whereas innovativeness was of minor relevance.

是什么驱动或抑制了个人寻求医疗创新信息的意愿？德国居民在线调查的结果

为争取公众关注和抵制科学怀疑论而开展的创新研究，促使人们需要深入了解个人参与科学知识的动机。本研究以计划风险信息搜寻模型（PRISM）为指导，同时考虑了对科学的不信任和创新性，旨在解释个人搜寻医疗创新信息的意图。对德国居民（5322 人）的在线调查结果表明，扩展的 PRISM 预测了寻求信息的意向。PRISM的大部分假设都得到了支持；不信任是参与科学知识的障碍，而创新性则与此关系不大。
