Gateway belief model The gateway belief model (GBM) is a theory in the communication sciences and psychology, most commonly applied in the area of science communication. The model suggests that public perception of the degree of normative (expert) agreement – or (scientific) consensus – on societal issues, such as climate change, vaccines, evolution, gun control, and GMO's functions as a so-called "gateway" cognition, influencing an individual's personal opinions, judgments, attitudes, and affective dispositions toward various social and scientific issues. The most well-known version of the model was developed by social psychologist Sander van der Linden and colleagues. The conceptual structure of the model is derived from earlier versions and a cumulative body of research.
