IBERIFIER Reports — Desinformación científica en España

El estudio analiza aspectos tales como los hábitos de consumo de información científica, la confianza en los diferentes medios, la actitud hacia la desinformación y los factores relacionados con la capacidad de identificar y propagar la desinformación científica.

En total se han realizado 2.100 entrevistas telefónicas a una muestra de personas mayores de 15 años residentes en España. Este estudio ha sido elaborado por Celia Díaz Catalán, profesora de Sociología de la Universidad Complutense de Madrid y Pablo Cabrera Álvarez, investigador en el Institute for Social and Economic Research de la Universidad de Essex (Reino Unido).

El informe ha sido desarrollado en el marco del proyecto IBERIFIER, el observatorio de medios digitales de España y Portugal, en el que la Fundación Española para la Ciencia y la Tecnología (FECYT), como organización de interfaz entre la ciencia y la sociedad, se ha involucrado para conocer los factores que subyacen a la desinformación científica en España.
