Many people seem to embrace the idea of “Finding Your Truth” (FYT), wherein individualism has been extended to what is true and false, and the scientific method is just one way of seeing reality. In two pre-registered studies, Alex Swan and his colleagues developed a multi-dimensional scale to measure FYT, and political liberals and conservatives evaluated disagreeing scientific (in the form of a researcher) and non-scientific (in the form of a professional or online commenter) perspectives on apolitical topics. Professor Swan will discuss the results and implications of this research project, including the idea that differences in science acceptance are not due only to differences in reasoning ability, but also to differences in belief about the nature of truth.
