Abstract

Abstract: Developing effective interventions to counter misinformation is an urgent goal, but it also presents conceptual, empirical, and practical difficulties, compounded by the fact that misinformation research is in its infancy. This paper provides researchers and policymakers with an overview of which individual-level interventions are likely to influence the spread of, susceptibility to, or impact of misinformation. We review the evidence for the effectiveness of four categories of interventions: boosting (psychological inoculation, critical thinking, and media and information literacy); nudging (accuracy primes and social norms nudges); debunking (fact-checking); and automated content labeling. In each area, we assess the empirical evidence, key gaps in knowledge, and practical considerations. We conclude with a series of recommendations for policymakers and tech companies to ensure a comprehensive approach to tackling misinformation.
打击错误信息
摘要:制定有效的干预措施来打击错误信息是一个紧迫的目标,但它也带来了概念、经验和实践上的困难,加上错误信息研究尚处于起步阶段。本文为研究人员和政策制定者提供了一个概述,说明哪些个人层面的干预措施可能会影响错误信息的传播、易感性或影响。我们审查了四类干预措施有效性的证据:增强(心理接种、批判性思维、媒体和信息素养);轻推(准确性和社会规范的轻推);揭穿(事实核查);以及自动内容标记。在每一个领域,我们都会评估经验证据、知识方面的关键差距和实际考虑因素。最后,我们向政策制定者和科技公司提出了一系列建议,以确保采取全面的方法来处理错误信息。
