Abstract

ABSTRACT Prior work has found that early corrections are often more effective than corrections encountered sometime after exposure to misinformation. However, these studies have generally considered only brief delays between misinformation exposure and correction, and do not explore processing style as a potential moderator of correction timing. We conducted a two-wave online experiment randomly assigning participants to receive corrections either shortly after exposure or approximately one week later. We find that both immediate and delayed corrections influenced belief accuracy and policy support, but immediate corrections were no more influential than delayed corrections, contrary to earlier findings. In addition, processing style had no moderating effect on the influence of correction timing.

估计即时修正与延迟修正对信念准确度的影响

先前的研究发现，早期的纠正往往比在接触错误信息后遇到的纠正更有效。然而，这些研究通常只考虑错误信息暴露和纠正之间的短暂延迟，并没有探索处理方式作为纠正时间的潜在调节因素。我们进行了两波在线实验，随机分配参与者在暴露后不久或大约一周后接受纠正。我们发现即时更正和延迟更正都影响信念准确性和政策支持，但即时更正并不比延迟更正更有影响力，这与先前的研究结果相反。此外，加工方式对纠正时间的影响没有调节作用。
