The project examines the trust relationship between science and digitized publics through panel surveys, qualitative interviews, content analyses, and experiments to uncover dynamic changes and provide explanatory approaches.
The project examines the trust relationship between science and digitized publics across five research modules using a mixed-methods design at the levels of users, content, and social structures. Panel surveys are combined with qualitative interviews, content analyses, and experiments. The results will reveal dynamic changes in trust relationships and provide explanatory approaches, considering trust as a multidimensional construct.
The project is funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG) for three years and is a collaboration between researchers from Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich, the University of Hamburg, the Technical University of Braunschweig, and Bielefeld University. The project staff member at LMU is Justin T. Schröder.
