- 요약The purpose of this exploratory sequential mixed methods dissertation was to investigate and compare cancer and conservation scientists' communication challenges and responses when interacting with nonexperts about their research. Throughout the three studies presented in this dissertation, the Communication Accommodation Theory (CAT) (Giles, Taylor, & Bourhis, 1973) served as a foundational, theoretical lens. Using the CAT as a guide to explore scientists' perceptions of their communication with community members, I conducted in-depth interviews with cancer scientists (N = 20) in Study 1 and conservation scientists (N = 19) in Study 2. Main findings revealed that both groups of scientists described facing similar challenges during their interactions with nonexperts, including differences in terminology, relaying epistemic language, intergroup attitudes and expectations, and self-doubt. In response to these challenging situations, scientists described responding in multiple different ways, including providing emotional expressions, adjusting terminology and illustrating science, connecting and engaging interpersonally, and practicing receptivity.Building upon these qualitative findings, Study 3 consisted of two phases: 1) triangulating cancer and conservation scientists' challenges and responses from the first two studies and 2) developing an online pilot survey. Main differences from Phase 1 (i.e., triangulation of qualitative results) included that conservation scientists encountered nonexperts who were anthropocentric, while cancer scientists described interacting with nonexperts who exhibited strong emotions related to science. Additionally, cancer scientists described responding to challenges by shifting the direction of the conversation, while conservation scientists relayed they worked to craft relatable and holistic messages. The findings from Phase 2 (i.e., the online pilot study) with cancer and conservation scientists (N = 100) indicate that the experience researchers perceive as most challenging was interacting with nonexperts who had a different focus, while the challenge scientists perceived as most frequent was navigating differences in terminology. Practical implications for facilitating scientists' communication with nonexperts are discussed, along with theoretical implications for increasing understanding of the CAT.
