Assessment of Effects of Science Popularization Activities from the Perspective of Attractor: A Theory Model Thinking

Assessment of effects of science popularization activities plays an irreplaceable role in impelling science popularization modernization. This paper firstly reviewed some published literature and summarized the research status and characteristics of the assessment of effects of science popularization activities. Based on above which, the paper proposed the mathematical assessment model on the effects of science popularization activities including “attractor” in demand and investment perspective by applying some knowledge and theories on economics and systems science. The results show the effectiveness of science popularization activities under demand attraction is positively correlated with regional demand for science popularization activities, per capita income, and the final consumption of science popularization activities. However, it is inversely correlated with the cost of organizing science popularization activities and the number of personnel engaged in science popularization activities. The effectiveness of science popularization activities under investment attraction is positively correlated with the amount of investment that science popularization activities can attract. However, it is important to note that it is inversely correlated with the potential profits that may be obtained from organizing science popularization activities.
