Pseudoscience: Common Themes Pseudoscience often… relies on non-representative anecdotes to justify its claims. exhibits a disregard for refuting information. claims that it is treated unfairly. argues that one should believe a claim because an authority says the claim is true. structures its theories so they can only be confirmed. tries to appear scientific. lacks an explanatory mechanism. promotes claims that have small effect sizes.

Climate Change Denial: Common Themes Exhibits a disregard for refuting information. Claims that it is treated unfairly. Works to undermine the authority of science. Promotes a claim with a small effect size (with a twist).

Persuasion: Recommendations Know your audience Moderate disagreement = greatest attitude change Persuasion occurs through two channels Cue #1: Liking Cue #2: Credibility Familiarity Outreach Critical thinking Defeasibility Distanced perspective
