Some such negative sentiment may be explained by continued associations of EA with scandals such as FTX: those who were aware of FTX gave significantly lower ratings of EA than those who were not (Stringent: 4.4 vs. 5.6, Mann-Whitney U p = .008; Permissive: 4.5 vs. 5.5 Mann-Whitney U p = .01).
Would you be able to share what fraction of those with negative EA associations were aware of FTX?
Sure, that’s a nice/​other way of looking at the relationship that is informative, we might include this in the final report. You can see for the permissive assessment its the majority of those with a negative view being aware of FTX.
I think it’s important to note that this doesn’t mean that ‘if more people who currently hold positive views of EA were aware of FTX then they would have negative views’ - because it’s possible that for some or many of those negative views, perhaps the only or primary way in which they’ve been exposed to the idea of EA is through the lens of FTX.
