摘要

目前，意识形态驱动的话语正在积极破坏科学的感知价值，基于证据的政策制定越来越多地被政治、精神或阴谋意识形态塑造的反科学议程所取代。我们认为，有动机的科学拒绝是由补偿机制驱动的，当这种理解与科学冲突时，补偿机制有助于保持对现实的连贯理解。根据意义维持模型和流体补偿假设——任何信念框架都可以被另一个信念框架取代以恢复意义——我们认为，当科学违反意义时，它就会被拒绝，而支持另一种意识形态信念框架，而不管它们的认知有效性如何。将科学与意义维持需求结合起来的干预措施，以最大限度地减少补偿性反应，可能在减少科学排斥方面被证明是有希望的。

Meaning maintenance drives science rejection

Currently, ideologically-motivated discourses are actively undermining perceived value of science, with evidence-based policy-making being increasingly replaced with antiscience agendas shaped by political, spiritual, or conspiratorial ideologies. We propose that motivated science rejection is driven by compensatory mechanisms serving to maintain a coherent understanding of reality when this understanding conflicts with science. Drawing on the meaning maintenance model and the assumption of fluid compensation—any belief framework can be replaced with another to restore meaning—we argue that when science violates meaning, it is rejected in favour of an alternative framework of ideological beliefs, regardless of their epistemic validity. Interventions that align science with meaning-maintenance needs to minimise compensatory responses may prove promising in reducing science rejection.
