Trust in science is popularly discussed as a monolithic construct even though there are numerous components and considerations behind it. And despite being an attitude that can be socially formed, minimal prior research has investigated trust in science from the perspective of Social Identity Theory. Using survey data that features a general population sample (N = 1,085) alongside oversamples for Black (N = 508) and Hispanic (N = 511) individuals. I approach the broad concept of "trust in science" from the dimension of trust in scientists, and evaluate how social identity characteristics - race, ethnicity, gender, political ideology, religiosity, and STEM identity - might predict a general trust in scientists. Expanding further on the intricacies of trust in scientists, I evaluate how social identity characteristics predict the perceived trustworthiness of specific sources of science information. My analysis suggests that ascribed social identity characteristics like political ideology and Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) identity are generally the strongest predictors of general trust in scientists and trust in particular sources of science. Results also provide practical insight for science communication and outreach, such as indicating that Black and Hispanic individuals are more trusting of secondary sources for science information (relative to non-Black and non-Hispanic individuals), such as politicians and professional athletes.
