HSK 6 · 鉴于 · 基于 · 出于

鉴于, 基于, 出于 — in view of, based on, out of

Three written prepositions, each introducing a different kind of reason.

The rule 鉴于 + a SITUATION that has been considered → leading to a decision: 鉴于天气原因,比赛取消。
基于 + a BASIS, a theory or a body of data: 基于以上分析,我们得出结论。
出于 + a MOTIVE, something felt inside: 出于好意,他没有说实话。
All three open a clause and belong to formal writing; speech uses 因为.
