Bounded understanding and informed trust: How laypersons cope with science-based expert knowledge Due to the division of labor in modern societies we are all laypersons with regard to most domains of knowledge. We have to make science-related decisions (for example about health issues) based on our bounded understanding of science, that is, without having the deep and extensive understanding that is characteristic of domain experts. I will argue that we- as non-experts- have better capabilities for second-hand evaluation (whom to trust?) than for first-hand evaluation (what is true?). My arguments will be exemplified by results from our studies which focus on adults' capacities for the evaluation of science-based expert knowledge found in the Internet. Especially, I will discuss laypersons' capacities to understand how specialized knowledge is distributed (who knows what?) and also laypersons' capacities to understand conflicts among scientists.
