Abstract

ABSTRACT Research has revealed that the diffusion of misinformation online can be attributed to inaccuracies in human cognitive reasoning. We examine the nudging effect of Accuracy Alerts on users’ ability to discern misinformation and how their trust moderates this effect. The results from a 2 (accuracy nudge: with nudge vs. no nudge) × 2 (news source type: algorithmic news vs. legacy non-algorithmic news) experiment showed significant main and interaction effects indicating that an algorithmic source effect is present in the process of nudge acceptance. Misinformation sharing intention was largely lower for legacy non-algorithmic news than algorithmic news, but there was a greater decrease in algorithmic news when nudging was employed.

准确度预警对防止虚假信息传播的影响：算法新闻来源、算法信任和用户对虚假新闻的识别

摘要研究表明，网络上错误信息的传播可归因于人类认知推理的不准确。我们研究了准确性警报对用户辨别错误信息能力的推动作用，以及他们的信任如何调节这种影响。2的结果（精度微调：有微调与无微调） × 2（新闻源类型：算法新闻与传统非算法新闻）实验显示了显著的主效应和交互效应，表明在推送接受过程中存在算法源效应。与算法新闻相比，传统非算法新闻的错误信息共享意愿在很大程度上更低，但当使用推送时，算法新闻的减少幅度更大。
