摘要

纠正错误信息是一项复杂的任务,受到各种心理、社会和技术因素的影响。大多数用于确定有效纠正方法的研究评估方法往往依赖于众包、问卷调查、实验室模拟或假设情景。然而,如何将这些方法和研究结果应用到真实世界的环境中,即个人自愿、自由地传播错误信息的环境中,在很大程度上仍有待探索。因此,我们缺乏对在自然网络环境中分享错误信息的个人如何应对纠正干预措施的全面了解。在本研究中,我们探讨了纠正信息对 3898 名两年来在 Twitter/X 上分享错误信息的用户的有效性。我们设计并部署了一个机器人来自动识别分享错误信息的个人,并随后以各种信息格式提醒他们注意相关的事实核查。我们的分析表明,只有少数用户对纠正信息做出了积极反应,大多数用户要么置之不理,要么做出消极反应。不过,我们也发现,更活跃的用户更有可能对纠正信息做出积极反应,而且我们还观察到,不同的信息语调会使特定用户群更有可能对机器人做出反应。

Exploring the impact of automated correction of misinformation in social media

Exploring the impact of automated correction of misinformation in social media

Correcting misinformation is a complex task, influenced by various psychological, social, and technical factors. Most research evaluation methods for identifying effective correction approaches tend to rely on either crowdsourcing, questionnaires, lab-based simulations, or hypothetical scenarios. However, the translation of these methods and findings into real-world settings, where individuals willingly and freely disseminate misinformation, remains largely unexplored. Consequently, we lack a comprehensive understanding of how individuals who share misinformation in natural online environments would respond to corrective interventions. In this study, we explore the effectiveness of corrective messaging on 3898 users who shared misinformation on Twitter/X over 2 years. We designed and deployed a bot to automatically identify individuals who share misinformation and subsequently alert them to related fact-checks in various message formats. Our analysis shows that only a small minority of users react positively to the corrective messages, with most users either ignoring them or reacting negatively. Nevertheless, we also found that more active users were proportionally more likely to react positively to corrections and we observed that different message tones made particular user groups more likely to react to the bot.
