LEARNING GOALS
- B. CONCEPT ACQUISITION
- Badging
- The phenomenon of people using claims of fact to express their identity or group affiliation.
- e.g. Midwestern farmers denying that climate change is real, even while they buy equipment and make preparations for climate change that will affect their crops.
- C. CONCEPT APPLICATION
- Recognize cases where apparent claims of fact may also be characterized as expressions of affiliation or identity (i.e. badging).
- e.g. Stated acceptance of creationism and rejection of evolution is only very weakly responsive to education and strongly associated with affiliative factors like religion, religiosity, and political ideology, suggesting that it may be (to some extent) a result of badging.
