AB - This paper aims to explore how the public's level of knowledge affects public opinion on scientific issues.
Analysis of survey data collected by the KAIST ELSI(Ethical Legal and Social Implications) project team
reveals several trends in public opinion. The public's level of knowledge has not been enhanced in spite of
the recent increase in media coverage of scientific issues. The surveys also show that the public's level of
knowledge does not affect the public’s attitude. They tend to form an attitude with little knowledge and
accordingly be influenced by experts’ opinion. It has been also found that the public seems to underestimate
the risks and has an overly positive attitude toward biotechnology. Therefore more effort is needed in order
to provide the public with accurate information.
