Abstract

The objective of this study was to investigate how high school students judged the credibility of information obtained for help with making everyday life decisions. Semi-structured individual interviews were carried out to reveal what reasons lay behind their belief in the quality, accuracy and helpfulness of the information. The results reveal that the students preferred turning to interpersonal information sources. The information obtained was perceived to be credible in cases when the source had been characterized with attributes that expressed competence and trustworthiness (such as expertise, knowledge and precision). Other important indicators of information credibility in cases of interpersonal information sources were the characteristics that expressed personal trust and the quality of the relationship with the source. Information on social media was judged by socially generated cues that expressed reputation and popularity in the users’ community. Lastly, credibility was verified by checking the consistency of information from multiple sources.

克罗地亚青少年在日常生活决策中的可信度判断

本研究的目的是调查高中生如何判断为帮助他们做出日常生活决策而获得的信息的可信度。进行了半结构化的个人访谈，以揭示他们对信息的质量，准确性和有用性的信念背后的原因。结果表明，学生倾向于使用人际信息源。如果消息来源具有表示有能力和值得信赖的特征(例如专门知识、知识和准确性)，则所获得的信息被认为是可信的。在人际信息源的情况下，信息可信度的其他重要指标是表达个人信任的特征和与信息源的关系质量。社交媒体上的信息是通过社交产生的线索来判断的，这些线索表达了用户社区中的声誉和受欢迎程度。最后，通过对多源信息的一致性检验来验证可信度。
