Abstract

This scoping review contributes an overview of recent research on effective media literacy interventions and recommendations relevant to cultivating critical mis/disinformation literacies for adults. The review examines articles published between 1 January 2016–22 November 2021 that report on or provide recommendations for media literacy interventions for adults suited to the emerging challenges of disinformation. Our findings reveal diverse intervention formats and evaluation methods including course-, web-, or game-based interventions, public events, and visual resources. Experts recommended teaching about emotion targeting and regulation, algorithmic governance, lateral reading, visual technology, and using interactive formats. Studies of evaluated interventions outside of formal education were scarce. Our review reveals significant debates around the usefulness of checklists and how to address politically sensitive issues, skepticism, and authority in programing. Future research and programing must attend to the needs of adult populations outside of formal education, and draw particularly upon librarians’ integral role in delivering community-based mis/disinformation literacy programing.

促进成年人的错误/虚假信息素养：干预措施和建议的范围审查

本综述概述了最近关于有效的媒体素养干预措施的研究，并提出了与培养成人批判性信息错误/虚假信息素养相关的建议。该审查审查了2016年1月1日至2021年11月22日期间发表的文章，这些文章报告了适合于新出现的虚假信息挑战的成年人媒体素养干预措施或为其提供了建议。我们的研究结果揭示了多种干预形式和评估方法，包括基于课程、网络或游戏的干预、公共事件和视觉资源。专家建议教授情感定位和调节、算法治理、横向阅读、视觉技术和使用互动格式。关于正规教育之外的评估干预措施的研究很少。我们的回顾揭示了围绕检查表的有用性以及如何处理编程中的政治敏感问题、怀疑和权威的重大争论。未来的研究和规划必须注意正规教育之外的成年人口的需要，并特别利用图书馆员在提供基于社区的信息管理/虚假信息素养规划方面的整体作用。

期刊介绍： Empirical research in communication began in the 20th century, and there are more researchers pursuing answers to communication questions today than at any other time. The editorial goal of Communication Research is to offer a special opportunity for reflection and change in the new millennium. To qualify for publication, research should, first, be explicitly tied to some form of communication; second, be theoretically driven with results that inform theory; third, use the most rigorous empirical methods; and fourth, be directly linked to the most important problems and issues facing humankind. Critieria do not privilege any particular context; indeed, we believe that the key problems facing humankind occur in close relationships, groups, organiations, and cultures.
