To analyze the science-society nexus across different cultural contexts, we conducted the global Many Labs study “Trust in Science and Science-Related Populism” (TISP), which involved a cross-sectional survey with 71,417 participants in 67 countries. This preprint describes the dataset, survey materials and psychometric properties of key variables.

This large-scale collaborative study analyzes the public trust in scientsts in 67 countries worldwide, predictors and correlates of trust, cross-national and cross-cultural variation, as well as public perceptions of the role of science in society and policy-making.

We review the three topics of relevance to climate science: The current state of trust, reasons for distrust, and how political engagement affects trust. We then draw on insights from social science research to recommend how climate communicators can become more trustworthy.

We present a comprehensive evaluation framework, grounded in science communication principles, to analyze responses of Large Language Models to climate change topics.
