Developmental scientists have used a variety of linguistic devices to communicate the science of resilience, but their effectiveness at improving understanding and expanding support for evidence-based social policies has not been empirically tested. We describe the process of developing, testing, and refining an Explanatory Metaphor to communicate the science of resilience to the public and policymakers. We argue that public understanding is key to bridging the research-to-practice divide and that communications is a social science endeavor in its own right that requires careful empirical research.
发展科学家们运用了多种语言手段来传播复原力科学，但它们在增进理解以及扩大对循证社会政策的支持方面的有效性尚未得到实证检验。我们描述了开发、测试和完善一种解释性隐喻的过程，以便向公众和政策制定者传播复原力科学。我们认为，公众理解是弥合研究与实践差距的关键，而且传播本身就是一项社会科学事业，需要进行严谨的实证研究。
