Abstract

Zusammenfassung Das Vertrauen der Bevölkerung gegenüber der Wissenschaft hängt in starkem Maß von der Art der Vermittlung wissenschaftlicher Erkenntnisse ab. Dabei ist es entscheidend, durch eine adäquate Interpretation statistischer Analysen eine vernünftige Bewertung der Zuverlässigkeit wissenschaftlicher Aussagen vorzunehmen. Oft scheitert das bereits an der Interpretation der „statistischen Signifikanz“. Die Autoren des vorliegenden Beitrags legen dar, dass die Berücksichtigung des gesamten Forschungsstands in einem bestimmten Gebiet sowie sachlich angemessene und für die Adressaten verständliche statistische Interpretationen zentrale Voraussetzungen für eine gelingende Wissenschaftskommunikation sind.
