摘要

摘要在美国,人们对科学工作者和科研机构的信任处于历史最低点。与此同时,研究表明,人们使用社交媒体获取科学信息,越来越容易受到与covid -19相关的错误信息的影响。然而,我们不知道是否低水平的信任首先导致人们转向社交媒体。我们认为,如果人们不相信科学家提供的科学信息,他们可能会转向社交媒体获取替代的科学信息(而不是依靠主流来源获取与大流行相关的信息),这反过来又会增加对COVID-19误解的易感性。基于两波美国面板数据,我们发现对科学的不信任推动了社交媒体对COVID-19信息的使用,而对社交媒体对COVID-19信息的依赖增加了对COVID-19误解的敏感性。免责声明作为对作者和研究人员的服务,我们提供了这个版本的已接受的手稿(AM)。在最终出版版本记录(VoR)之前,将对该手稿进行编辑、排版和审查。在制作和印前,可能会发现可能影响内容的错误,所有适用于期刊的法律免责声明也与这些版本有关。李双元(威斯康星大学麦迪逊分校博士),高丽大学媒体与传播学院助理教授。他的研究考察了新媒体技术(如社交媒体、人工智能等)如何影响我们的日常生活和整个社会。Mo Jones-Jang(密歇根大学博士),波士顿学院传播系副教授。他的研究重点是人工智能和科学背景下的错误信息。ChungMyojung,美国雪城大学博士,美国东北大学新闻学院助理教授。她的主要研究集中在数字时代人们如何处理和传播错误信息以及如何打击错误信息。Edmund W.

Examining the Role of Distrust in Science and Social Media Use: Effects on Susceptibility to COVID Misperceptions with Panel Data
ABSTRACTTrust in scientific actors and institutions in the United States is at an all-time low. At the same time, studies show that people use social media for science information and become increasingly vulnerable to COVID-19-related misinformation. Yet, we do not know whether low levels of trust cause people to turn to social media in the first place. We argue that if people do not trust the scientific information provided by scientists, they are likely to turn to social media to get alternative scientific information (rather than relying on mainstream sources to get pandemic-related information), which in turn can increase susceptibility to COVID-19 misperceptions. Based on two-wave U.S. panel data, we found that distrust in science drives the uses of social media for COVID-19 information, and reliance on social media for COVID-19 information increases susceptibility to COVID-19 misperceptions.DisclaimerAs a service to authors and researchers we are providing this version of an accepted manuscript (AM). Copyediting, typesetting, and review of the resulting proofs will be undertaken on this manuscript before final publication of the Version of Record (VoR). During production and pre-press, errors may be discovered which could affect the content, and all legal disclaimers that apply to the journal relate to these versions also.
