摘要

对科学专家的不信任可能会出奇地顽固，尽管有证据支持专家的观点，证明他们的能力，或表现出善意，但这种不信任仍会持续下去。这种顽固的不信任通常被视为非理性的表现。相比之下，本文提出了一种“地位不信任”的逻辑:地位低的个人客观上容易受到集体决策的影响，如果他们不相信地位高的科学专家没有把他们的最大利益放在心上，他们就有理由不信任这些专家。在地位不信任现象中，社会地位是不信任的一个指标，这对科学信任和专家沟通的文献具有更广泛的意义。

Status Distrust of Scientific Experts

ABSTRACT Distrust in scientific experts can be surprisingly stubborn, persisting despite evidence supporting the experts’ views, demonstrations of their competence, or displays of good will. This stubborn distrust is often viewed as a manifestation of irrationality. By contrast, this article proposes a logic of “status distrust”: low-status individuals are objectively vulnerable to collective decision-making, and can justifiably distrust high-status scientific experts if they are not confident that the experts do not have their best interests at heart. In phenomena of status distrust, social status is thus an indicator of distrust, and this has wider implications for the literatures on trust in science and on expert communication.

期刊介绍： Social Epistemology provides a forum for philosophical and social scientific enquiry that incorporates the work of scholars from a variety of disciplines who share a concern with the production, assessment and validation of knowledge. The journal covers both empirical research into the origination and transmission of knowledge and normative considerations which arise as such research is implemented, serving as a guide for directing contemporary knowledge enterprises. Social Epistemology publishes "exchanges" which are the collective product of several contributors and take the form of critical syntheses, open peer commentaries interviews, applications, provocations, reviews and responses
