Abstract

LINE mobile application has group feature that can connect us with numerous other groups. With the recurring spread of fake news in recent time, it provides opportunities for higher education students to be able to receive and spread the fake news through LINE group. The purpose of this research: first, to show college students' activities and the intention of awareness to receive fake news by users. Second, to measure the number of college student groups with awareness of spread fake news. Third, to investigate whether Higher education students with many groups can make or modify fake news. There are 15 questions using a Likert scale and 5 multiple choice questions which are shown to higher education students and presented by using statistical descriptive explanatory analysis for this research. The result of this research is higher education students have many groups and this does not affect the number of fake news because Higher education students need to do advanced research on the news and see if the news has a reliable source. The number of groups in the LINE mobile application imposes no effect on the spread of fake news.

高等教育学生在社交媒体上传播假新闻的行为:以LINE集团为例

LINE移动应用程序具有群组功能，可以将我们与许多其他群组联系起来。随着近年来假新闻的反复传播，这为高等教育学生提供了通过LINE群接收和传播假新闻的机会。本研究的目的:第一，展示大学生的活动和用户接收假新闻的意识意图。第二，衡量具有传播假新闻意识的大学生群体的数量。第三，调查多群体的高等教育学生是否可以制造或修改假新闻。本研究采用统计描述性解释分析的方法，向高等教育学生展示了15个李克特量表问题和5个选择题。这项研究的结果是高等教育的学生有很多群体，这并不影响假新闻的数量，因为高等教育的学生需要对新闻做高级研究，看看新闻是否有可靠的来源。LINE手机应用程序中的群组数量对假新闻的传播没有影响。
