Nonetheless, it is not yet known which individual\u2010level characteristics are associated with science capital. The present study links sociological concepts of science capital to the psychological study of individual differences by examining the role of cognitive sophistication in science capital. Participants (\n                    <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009=\u2009146) completed an online survey. To assess cognitive sophistication, we used measures associated with the motivation and\/or disposition (i.e., need for cognition, actively open\u2010minded thinking and epistemic curiosity) and ability (i.e., understanding randomness and probability, susceptibility to representativeness and equiprobability heuristics, and performance in Raven's progressive matrices) to reason. These measures were used to predict two aspects of science capital, science self\u2010efficacy and science attitudes, with regression analyses. Results of hierarchical regression analyses showed that epistemic curiosity was associated with both aspects of science capital, while need for cognition and understanding probabilistic concepts predicted science self\u2010efficacy, and susceptibility to the equiprobability heuristic predicted science attitudes. Additionally, education predicted both science self\u2010efficacy and science attitudes. Taken together, the study indicates that both motivation or disposition and ability to reason are important for science capital. Moreover, the study demonstrates the value of linking sociological and psychological perspectives together to better understand what makes people pro\u2010science.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/sjop.70133","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,7,29]],"date-time":"2026-07-29T16:20:48Z","timestamp":1785342048000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["The Role of Cognitive Sophistication in Science Capital"],"prefix":"10.1111","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0009-8246-8160","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Kaisa","family":"Elovaara","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Psychology and Speech\u2010Language Pathology University of Turku  Turku Finland"},{"name":"Department of Education University of Helsinki  Helsinki Finland"},{"name":"INVEST Research Flagship and Research Centre University of Turku  Turku Finland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3662-4184","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Caitlin","family":"Dawson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Education University of Helsinki  Helsinki Finland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6462-6630","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Annika M.","family":"Svedholm\u2010H\u00e4kkinen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Psychology University of Helsinki  Helsinki Finland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2970-826X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Johanna K.","family":"Kaakinen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Psychology and Speech\u2010Language Pathology University of Turku  Turku Finland"},{"name":"INVEST Research Flagship and Research Centre University of Turku  Turku Finland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8273-685X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jaana","family":"Simola","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Education University of Helsinki  Helsinki Finland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,7,29]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_15_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/0963662506070159"},{"key":"e_1_2_15_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.paid.2021.111389"},{"key":"e_1_2_15_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3758\/s13428\u2010019\u201001237\u2010x"},{"key":"e_1_2_15_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/tea.21227"},{"key":"e_1_2_15_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/1073191112446655"},{"key":"e_1_2_15_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1207\/s15327752jpa4803_13"},{"issue":"3","key":"e_1_2_15_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"248","DOI":"10.1080\/21548455.2020.1774094","article-title":"The Role of Epistemic Beliefs in Predicting Citizen Interest and Engagement With Science and Technology","volume":"10","author":"Choung H.","year":"2020","journal-title":"International Journal of Science Education, Part B"},{"key":"e_1_2_15_9_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/s41235\u2010024\u201000578"},{"key":"e_1_2_15_10_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.paid.2012.01.005"},{"key":"e_1_2_15_11_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/tea.21547"},{"key":"e_1_2_15_12_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.5709\/acp\u20100163\u20109"},{"issue":"3","key":"e_1_2_15_13_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"16","DOI":"10.1017\/S1930297500005921","article-title":"The Role of Actively Open\u2010Minded Thinking in Information Acquisition, Accuracy, and Calibration","volume":"8","author":"Haran U.","year":"2013","journal-title":"Judgment and Decision Making"},{"key":"e_1_2_15_14_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1027\/1614\u20100001\/a000372"},{"key":"e_1_2_15_15_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s10763\u2010020\u201010096\u20104"},{"key":"e_1_2_15_16_1","unstructured":"Johnson P.
