Influence of Online User Information Verification on the Effect of Health Misinformation Correction Provided by a Peer: A Natural Quasi-Experiment
This study examined the influence of user fact-checking and people’s trust in misinformation on the effectiveness of misinformation correction provided by a peer. A lab quasi-experiment was conducted. Participants received misinformation about weight loss methods and were given autonomy to decide whether to seek additional information online, followed by a subsequent misinformation correction. Information verification and trust in misinformation were positively related to resistance to correction, even when people’s predisposition towards effortful thinking and gender were included in the model. People who tried to verify the information and trusted the misinformation were not more likely to resist misinformation correction than those who did not fact-check and trusted the misinformation. Further, intention to share was positively associated with levels of trust in misinformation.
期刊介绍:
Communication Reports (CR), published biannually since 1988, is one of two scholarly journals of the Western States Communication Association (WSCA). The journal publishes original manuscripts that are short, data/text-based, and related to the broadly defined field of human communication. The mission of the journal is to showcase exemplary scholarship without censorship based on topics, methods, or analytical tools. Articles that are purely speculative or theoretical, and not data analytic, are not appropriate for this journal. Authors are expected to devote a substantial portion of the manuscript to analyzing and reporting research data.
