摘要

现有的关于影响公众对专家可信度看法的因素的研究主要是在稳定时期和历史悠久的西方自由民主国家进行的。这篇文章的问题是，同样的因素是否适用于重大卫生危机和相对较新的民主国家。根据在捷克共和国、匈牙利、波兰和塞尔维亚第一波COVID-19大流行期间进行的120次采访和日记，我们确定了现有研究未承认的另外两个因素，即与专家的个人接触以及专家独立于政治精英。我们还研究了不同因素如何相互作用，并展示了对专家的不信任如何导致在线错误信息的暴露。

Establishing Trust in Experts During a Crisis: Expert Trustworthiness and Media Use During the COVID-19 Pandemic

Existing research on factors informing public perceptions of expert trustworthiness was largely conducted during stable periods and in long-established Western liberal democracies. This article asks whether the same factors apply during a major health crisis and in relatively new democracies. Drawing on 120 interviews and diaries conducted during the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic in the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, and Serbia, we identify two additional factors not acknowledged in existing research, namely personal contact with experts and experts’ independence from political elites. We also examine how different factors interact and show how distrust of experts can lead to exposure to online misinformation.
