摘要

新冠肺炎大流行和充斥互联网的假新闻热潮揭示了当今社交媒体的力量。然而,年轻人还没有意识到自己在数字时代的角色,尽管他们是社交媒体的主要用户。因此,人们正在重新评估老年人对信息负责的信念。有鉴于此,本研究旨在确定与Medellín(哥伦比亚)年轻人中假新闻传播有关的因素。在18岁至34岁的人群样本中,共处理了404份自填问卷,并使用探索性因素分析和结构方程建模等统计技术进行了分析。研究结果表明,即时分享假新闻与人们提高核心圈子意识的愿望有关,尤其是当分享的信息与他们的看法和信仰一致时,或者与缺乏时间来正确验证其准确性有关。最后,被动纠正行动在哥伦比亚的影响不如在原始模式的影响大,这可以用文化因素来解释。

Understanding the Spread of Fake News: An Approach from the Perspective of Young People
The COVID-19 pandemic and the boom of fake news cluttering the internet have revealed the power of social media today. However, young people are not yet aware of their role in the digital age, even though they are the main users of social media. As a result, the belief that older adults are responsible for information is being re-evaluated. In light of this, the present study was aimed at identifying the factors associated with the spread of fake news among young people in Medellín (Colombia). A total of 404 self-administered questionnaires were processed in a sample of people between the ages of 18 and 34 and analyzed using statistical techniques, such as exploratory factor analysis and structural equation modeling. The results suggest that the instantaneous sharing of fake news is linked to people’s desire to raise awareness among their inner circle, particularly when the messages shared are consistent with their perceptions and beliefs, or to the lack of time to properly verify their accuracy. Finally, passive corrective actions were found to have a less significant impact in the Colombian context than in the context of the original model, which may be explained by cultural factors.
