Perception of Science

Perception of science refers to how people view and interpret scientific ideas, methods, and discoveries. It involves trust in scientific results, understanding of scientific processes, and attitudes toward science’s role in society. This perception can be shaped by education, cultural beliefs, media information, and personal experiences. A positive perception fosters appreciation for science’s contributions, while misconceptions or mistrust can hinder its acceptance. Clear communication and transparency from the scientific community are essential to building an accurate, informed perception of science among the public.
