"Disagreement and uncertainty are common features of everyday life. They’re
also common and expected features of scientific research.
Despite this, disagreement among experts has the potential to undermine
people’s engagement with information. It can also lead to confusion and a
rejection of scientific messaging in general, with a tendency to explain
disagreement as relating to incompetence or nefarious motivations.
To help, we recently developed a tool to help people navigate uncertainty and
disagreement.
To illustrate its usefulness, we applied it to a recent topic which has
attracted much disagreement (including among experts): whether social media is
harmful for kids, and whether they should be banned from it."
