Thank you, @dereklowe.bsky.social for commenting on our work @spac.bsky.social
More on this soon: across several metrics, we find that it’s not the least knowledgeable who are the most overconfident, it is those who have some knowledge
We call this the IKE - intermediate knowledge effect

"I've been meaning to write about this paper for a while now - it's an attempt to quantify the relationship between the amount of scientific knowledge a person has and the amount that they think they have."

Had a fun conversation w/ Conor Dillon and Gabriel Borrud for the #ScienceUnscripted podcast @dw_news
Starting from @spac.bsky.social's recent paper, we discussed how much we should "dumb down" science to make it accessible and lowering the bar for saying "I don't know"
(7min in 1.5x speed ;) )

'Moderate' knowledge leads to science skepticism
You'd think that the less someone knows, the more likely it is they'll buy in to misinformation. Right? Surprisingly, a new study suggests that, up to a point, it's actually worse to know more.

First post on a fresh paper!
Are the least knowledgeable also unaware of it?
How does confidence vary with (scientific) knowledge? After years of working on these questions, our results are out in @NatureHumanBehaviour
Open access fees were obscene but happy to share paper via email

Intermediate levels of scientific knowledge are associated with overconfidence and negative attitude...
Lackner et al. show that individuals with an intermediate level of science knowledge tend to have overconfidence in their own knowledge and negative attitudes to science.
