摘要

本研究旨在探讨不同年龄组与假新闻相关的COVID-19(初始阶段)相关因素(先前暴露、易感性、情绪、实践和转发行为)的差异。年轻人(18-29岁)、中年人(30-49岁)和老年人(50岁以上)通过填写(新闻剪辑辅助)问卷参与了这项研究。收集的数据使用Kruskal Wallis检验进行统计分析，进行敏感性和实践因素。结果显示，不同年龄群体对假新闻的易感性及相应的假新闻应对实践行为均无显著差异。在事前曝光因素方面，假新闻似乎比真实新闻更为普遍。研究发现，不同年龄段的人在听到新闻时表现出的最强烈的情绪是冷漠、厌恶和惊讶。研究发现，不同年龄组的转发行为或多或少相似。

Fake News during Covid-19 Outbreak: Differentiating Audience's Age regarding Prior Exposure, Emotion, Susceptibility, Practice, and Forwarding Behaviour

This study aimed to explore the differences across age groups regarding factors (prior exposure, susceptibility, emotions, practice, and forwarding behavior) involved in COVID-19 (initial phase) related to fake news. Young adults (18-29 years), middle-aged adults (30-49 years), and older adults (50 years above) partic ipated in the study by filling in a (news clip assisted) questionnaire. The data collected were subjected to statistical analysis using the Kruskal Wallis test, carried out for susceptibility and practice factors. Results revealed that no significant differences existed among the age groups for susceptibility to fake news and their corresponding practice behavior in response to false news. As for the factor of prior exposure, false news seemed to be more widespread than true news. Indifference, disgust, and surprise were observed to be the powerful emotions expressed in response to news across the different age groups. Forwarding behaviors across the different age groups were found to be more or less similar.
