Hello. We are currently asking for help from scientists who have done public engagement with science activities in the past year. Please help us validate a scale designed to measure your perceptions of the public who attended your most recent public engagement activity. Click the link below to help validate the scale (it should take only 15 minutes). For more details, keep reading below.
https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/AAASPublicPerceptions In 2015, AAAS (the American Association for the Advancement of Science) began a project to document and study public engagement with science (PES). As part of this project, a series of scales is being developed to study both the reasons that scientists choose to do public engagement and the short-term impact of those experiences. The third of these scales is ready for testing, and we need 300 scientists to help us validate the scale by responding to the items. This scale was designed for scientists who have done public engagement with science in the past year. The questions focus on your perceptions of the public who attended your last PES activity. Feel free to share the link with others in your network who also do public engagement with science. Thank you, in advance, for your help! -- Karen Peterman Consulting, Co.
