The purpose of this study is to determine if, and to what extent, elite cue-giving affects approval of nuclear energy. Participants will be assigned to either an experimental or control group. The experimental group will be asked to read a stimulus regarding nuclear energy directly cited from a renowned physicist, who functions as an elite cue giver. Then, participants will be asked to evaluate the extent to which they agree with statements such as, "nuclear energy is a reliable resource" and "nuclear energy should be advocated for by my political party more." The control group will read a similar stimulus that is not credited to any elite cue giver, and then evaluate the same statements as the experimental group. The investigator will then compare concerns and support for nuclear energy between the experimental and control group.
