Abstract

Social media platforms, which are ripe with emotionally charged pieces of information, are vulnerable to the dissemination of vast amounts of misinformation. Little is known about the affective processing that underlies peoples’ belief in and dissemination of fake news on social media, with the research on fake news predominantly focusing on cognitive processing aspects. This study presents a systematic review of the impact of affective constructs on the perception of fake news on social media platforms. A comprehensive literature search was conducted in the SCOPUS and Web of Science databases to identify relevant articles on the topics of affect, misinformation, disinformation, and fake news. A total of 31 empirical articles were obtained and analyzed. Seven research themes and four research gaps emerged from this review. The findings of this review complement the existing literature on the cognitive mechanisms behind how people perceive fake news on social media. This can have implications for technology platforms, governments, and citizens interested in combating infodemics.
情感对社交媒体上假新闻认知的影响:系统回顾
社交媒体平台充斥着充满情绪的信息,很容易受到大量错误信息传播的影响。人们对假新闻在社交媒体上的信仰和传播背后的情感加工知之甚少,对假新闻的研究主要集中在认知加工方面。本研究对社交媒体平台上情感结构对假新闻感知的影响进行了系统回顾。在SCOPUS和Web of Science数据库中进行了全面的文献检索,以确定有关情感、错误信息、虚假信息和假新闻主题的相关文章。总共获得并分析了31篇实证文章。本综述提出了七个研究主题和四个研究空白。这篇综述的发现补充了关于人们如何在社交媒体上感知假新闻背后的认知机制的现有文献。这可能会对技术平台、政府和有兴趣对抗信息传染病的公民产生影响。
