Abstract:Based on the 2023 STS Barometer Survey,this study analyzes the current state of public recognition of scientists' spirit in China and its group differences using descriptive statistics,difference tests,and multiple comparisons.The findings reveal that Chinese public generally holds a high regard for scientists' spirit,though there is still room for improvement in certain dimensions.Specifically,female show a higher recognition of scientists' spirit than male;the post-2000 generation has a lower recognition compared to other generations;individuals with higher education levels exhibit greater recognition of scientists' spirit;and those who obtain scientific information primarily through official media have a higher recognition of scientists' spirit compared to those who rely more on social media.Therefore,it is essential to further develop differentiated science communication strategies to deepen public understanding of scientists' spirit;strengthen self-discipline within the scientific community to consciously promote scientists' spirit in the new era;rebuild trust between the media and scientists,optimizing the mechanisms for shaping the image of scientists;and enhance public opinion monitoring and risk assessment to improve the social awareness and impact management of scientific issues.
