Abstract

Abstract News consumption enhances the contact experience for first-generation immigrants and sojourners in their acculturation to the host culture. Using acculturation theory, this study explores interdisciplinary concepts related to understanding immigrants’ and sojourners’ believability evaluation of disinformation. The authors conducted an online experiment to examine the believability of disinformation by asking immigrants and sojourners (N = 71) to discern online news stories without disinformation from online stories containing disinformation. The present study found that first-generation immigrants and sojourners with higher levels of perceived English language proficiency, longer length of stays in the U.S., and greater US news consumption are more likely to demonstrate higher news IQ, which leads to less believability of disinformation. Although news plays a critical role in understanding current events and issues pertinent to individuals’ day-to-day lives, communities, societies, and governments, immigrants and sojourners are largely marginalized populations as news consumers. As foreign-born residents make up close to 14% of the U.S. population, this study will provide meaningful insights.

第一代移民与旅居者对虚假信息的可信度评价

摘要新闻消费增强了第一代移民和旅居者对东道国文化的接触体验。本研究以文化适应理论为基础，探讨移民与滞留者对虚假资讯的可信度评估。作者进行了一项在线实验，通过要求移民和外国人(N = 71)区分没有虚假信息的在线新闻故事和包含虚假信息的在线新闻故事，来检验虚假信息的可信度。目前的研究发现，英语水平较高、在美国停留时间较长、对美国新闻消费较多的第一代移民和旅居者更有可能表现出较高的新闻智商，这导致虚假信息的可信度较低。尽管新闻在理解与个人日常生活、社区、社会和政府有关的时事和问题方面起着至关重要的作用，但作为新闻消费者，移民和外国人在很大程度上是被边缘化的人群。由于外国出生的居民占美国人口的近14%，这项研究将提供有意义的见解。本文的补充数据可在http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/10646175.2022.2027296上在线获得

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
