Abstract

At the mid-point of the 1980's, science has once again risen in public esteem a point parallel to that which existed in the mid 1950's. David Yankelovich (1984) has recently presented data regarding changes in public attitudes toward science. This positive perception of science has continued to improve during the last fi years, as evidenced by follow-up studies at the University of Iowa.
