摘要: This article presents early results from an opinion formation study based on a 76-member panel of U.S. citizens, with comparison data group 177 nanotechnology experts. While initially similar to the expert in terms their perceptions risks, benefits, and need for regulation characterizing several forms nanotechnology, first follow-up survey indicates that is beginning diverge experts, particularly respect levels various “societal” risks might present. The suggest responding public concerns may involve more than attention physical areas such as health environment; about other risk actually appear salient.
