Our team will be reviewing your submission and get back to you with any further questions. However, investing in media literacy is particularly important in developing countries, where there are millions of Internet users with low-literacy rates (Mustaffa et al., 2007; Sun & Nekmat, 2008). Research shows that elites and mass media play an important role in spreading misinformation on mail-in voter fraud. Those that believe that people color have a vendetta against those living in the current world would be among the first to state that the documentary is horribly skewed to one side and might attempt to discredit it. Panelists at the School of Public Health called for a stronger communications effort by physicians to counter misinformation on vaccines. 72(2), 228241. As for sentiment analysis, highly negative values (sentiment=32) give the following probabilities for each category: factual (p=0.015, CI=[0.013, 0.016]), clickbait (p=0.149, CI=[0.143, 0.155]), conspiracy theories (p=0.189, CI=[0.182, 0.195]), fake news (p=0.205, CI = [0.201, 0.212]), hate speech (p=0.301, CI=[0.292, 0.308]), junk science (p=0.062, CI=[0.060, 0.065]) and rumor (p=0.077, CI=[0.074, 0.080]). Those are colors that you can't see. For each variable I performed 100 simulations with confidence intervals settled at 0.025 and 0.975. Communication and persuasion. This film discusses some of the reasons the contributions of African and aboriginal people have been left out of the pages of history. Additionally, although the objective of this paper was not discussing the evidence at the source levelbut at the misinformation category level, it is also worth mentioning that sources belonging to the same category may behave differently. The term fake news describes a range of false Go to that source to ensure theyre remembering correctly. Remembering the lessons of Watergate. The length of sentences and words are precisely the fundamental parameters of the Flesch-Kincaid index, the readability variable. In Proceedings of the 2017 conference on empirical methods in natural language processing (pp. Its Vis. Regardless of why its shared, misinformation surrounding COVID-19 has been so rampant that the World Health Organization (WHO) declared a parallel infodemic to describe the scale of fake news and its potential impact on efforts to limit the viruss spread. 5, 2015; van der Linden, S., Political Psychology, online first publication, 2020). Facebook officials testified that up to 60 million bots spread misinformation on its platform, while a study found that a quarter of preelection tweets linking to news articles shared false or extremely biased information.

PubMed Tests of the gamewhich more than a million people have playedshow that playing it once can boost participants ability to identify misinformation, but that the inoculation effect decays after about two months (Maertens, R., et al., Journal of Experimental Psychology: Applied, 2020). Misinformation on COVID-19 is so pervasive that even some patients dying from the disease still say its a hoax. The Flesch-Kincaid readability score is calculated with the following formula (Kincaid et al., 1975): where nw is the number of words, nst is the number of sentences, and nsy is the number of syllables.

This is capital as our societies become more and more digital, especially in the light of worrying levels of media literacy. On the other hand, intent can vary between mislead the audience (fake news or conspiracy theories), attract website traffic (clickbait) or undefined intent (rumors) (Tables 1 and 2). Cailin OConnor and James Owen Weatherall. Online social networks meet several of the criteria known by psychologists to make statements persuasive. Psychologists say more research is needed to understand whether susceptibility to misinformation is a general or context-dependent traitfor example, whether people who believe political fake news are the same people who believe COVID-19 fake news (Scherer, L.

In response, psychologists accelerated their research on the spread of online misinformation and how to address it.4, 2018Present Even in the best of all possible worlds, correcting misinformation is not an easy task.. For example, some people who indicated in the spring or summer of 2020 that they were not willing to take a vaccine may have adjusted their stance as the pandemic has progressed. Hidden Colors: Directed by Tariq Nasheed. 8, No. Coordinated misinformation efforts have been documented throughout recorded history, starting with a political smear campaign against Roman general Mark Antony regarding his relationship with Cleopatra, which used slogans carved on coins. Those beliefs predicted a subsequent decrease in willingness to wear a mask or take a vaccine (Social Science & Medicine, Vol. That pattern also holds in other countries. Morality plays a role in identifying categories by augmenting their probabilities of being classified as factual news, rumors, hate speech or junk science as the appeal to morality decreases; and on the contrary, it leads to higher probabilities of being classified as fake news clickbait or conspiracy theories as the appeal to morality in a given text increases. Evanega, S., et al.,Cornell Alliance for Science, 2020, The psychology of fake news: Accepting, sharing, and correcting misinformation The photo of Singh and those of the mansion were real, but he did not own the home; it is a rental property in the United States. First differences of the multinominal logit modelPerplexity. Beyond the title and content for each item, the corpus also categorizes each new into one of the following categories: clickbait, conspiracy theories, fake news, hate speech, junk science, factual sources, and rumors. Dave Cullen, a decorated journalist, wrote Columbine over a period of ten years with the intention of "setting [the facts] right.".

In Proceedings of the eighth ACM international conference on web search and data mining (pp. Using sentence length or word syllables as a measure of text complexity has a long tradition in computational linguistics (Afroz et al., 2012; Fuller et al., 2009; Hauch et al., 2015; Monteiro et al., 2018). In other words, the easier to read a text is, the more likely it pertains to the clickbait, conspiracy theories, fake news, or rumor categories. This approach has two advantages. Flesch-Kincaid is used in different scientific fields like pediatrics (DAlessandro et al., 2001), climate change (De Bruin & Granger Morgan, 2019), tourism (Liu & Park, 2015) or social media (Rajadesingan et al., 2015). The findings also suggest promising interventions for early detection and the identification of check-worthy content, which is important for fact-checking organizations because the flood of misinformation can easily overwhelm them (Pennycook & Rand, 2017). Fact-Checking Network (IFCN), PolitiFact and Snopes. In addition, since negative news spreads farther (Hansen et al., 2011; Vosoughi et al., 2018), I add an interaction term between morality and negativity by multiplying the morality per 500 words and the negativity per 500 words for each text, this being the main measurement for morality: where mori is the overall number of moral words in text i, negi is the absolute number of negative words in text i and nw,i is the total number of words in text i. For example, some fake news sources may use a more neutral tone, while others may show a higher appeal to negative emotions. Tour Manag 47:140151, Loomba S, de Figueiredo A, Piatek SJ, de Graaf K, Larson HJ (2021) Measuring the impact of COVID-19 vaccine misinformation on vaccination intent in the UK and USA. The fundamental problem with misinformation is that once people have heard it, they tend to believe and act on it, even after its been corrected, says Stephan Lewandowsky, PhD, a professor of psychology at the University of Bristol in the United Kingdom. https://aclanthology.org/W17-1213/, Garca-Portugs E (2021) Notes for predictive modeling Version 5.9.9. Regarding technology companies, there is evidence that correcting misinformation through related stories features in their platforms can reduce the prominence of misleading content (Bode & Vraga, 2015), although just around 3.7% (Pennycook & Rand, 2017). In contrast, for content with high appeal to morality (morality=13.75), the probabilities per category are: factual (p=0.003, CI=[0.003, 0.004)], clickbait (p=0.158, CI=[0.150, 0.166]), conspiracy theories (p=0.182, CI=[0.174, 0.191]), fake news (p=0.221, CI=[0.212, 0.230]), hate speech (p=0.151, CI=[0.144, 0.158]), junk science (p=0.165, CI=[0.158, 0.171]) and rumor (p=0.119, CI=[0.112, 0.125)]. However, conspiracy theories are non-factual, meaning we are not able to fact-check their veracity. On the side of more positive language, I find rumors (sentiment=0.86, [CI=0.65, 1.08]) and junk science (sentiment=2.52, [CI=2.31, 2.72]). These resources include the Poynter Institutes MediaWise for Seniors program and AARPs Fact Tracker interactive videos. Thanks for reading! But with news travelling fast, and often with few checks and balances to ensure accuracy, it can also be seen as the Misinformation In contrast to previous measures, the technique employed to quantify morality is highly sensitive to text length (with longer texts having higher probabilities of containing moral words), therefore, I calculate the morality measure as moral words per 500 words in each text. Such falsehoods, which research shows have influenced attitudes and behaviors around protective measures such as mask-wearing, are an ongoing hurdle as countries around the world struggle to get the virus under control. 110, No. Google Scholar, Guess AM, Lerner M, Lyons B, Montgomery JM, Nyhan B, Reifler J, Sircar N (2020) A digital media literacy intervention increases discernment between mainstream and false news in the United States and India.

One group was asked how fast the cars were going when they hit each other, while the other was asked how fast they were going when they smashed into each other. An excerpt from the new book Demagogue: The Life and Long Shadow of Senator Joe McCarthy by Larry Tye. In this documentary however its shown how those that were considered to be savages were in fact very intelligent and cultured people that had managed to survive for untold generations. December. In Proceedings of the 24th international conference on World Wide Web (pp. Much of whats covered in the documentary is information that seems to have come to light after those that created it and those that inspired it did some digging of their own and found out some very interesting things about African history. Moreover, the results must be interpreted in the light of some methodological limitations that I expose in the corresponding section. If friends or family share information via From here, I can calculate how surprising each word x is by using log(p(x)). In contrast, the following junk science article has one of the highest positive values (emotion=+28): A new bionic eye lenses currently in development would give humans 3x vision, at any age. to complain about the story.

Proceedings of the 4th ACM Workshop on Security and Artificial Intelligence. () Even better is the fact that people who get the lens surgically inserted will never develop cataracts. Following the previous example, the string bla bla bla bla bla has a perplexity of 1 (no surprise because all words are the same and, therefore, predicted with a probability of 1), while the string this is an example of higher entropy has a perplexity of 7 (since there are 7 different words that appear 1 time each, yielding a probability of 1-in-7 to appear). It can adopt many different forms like conspiracy theories, fake news, junk science, or rumors among others. It may be the case that the results moderate the motivated reasoning mechanism (Bago et al., 2020; Kraft et al., 2015) by augmenting or diminishing its effect depending on the level of emotional evocation and morality and the cognitive effort needed to process it. This unprecedented fingerprint of misinformation provides evidence that content features differ significantly between factual news and different types of misinformation and therefore can facilitate early detection, automation, and the use of intelligent techniques to support fact-checking and other mitigation actions. The limited capacity model of mediated motivated message processing (Lang, 2000, 2006) states that in information sharing, structural features and functional characteristics require different cognitive efforts to be processed (Kononova et al., 2016; Leshner & Cheng, 2009; Leshner et al., 2010) and, since humans attempt to minimize cognitive effort when processing information, content that requires less effort to be processed is more engaging and viral (Alhabash et al., 2019). We tripled the difference in the probability of sharing true versus false information when we drew peoples attention toward accuracy, Pennycook says. If we apply a logarithm to both sides, we obtain: Therefore, multinominal logistic regression is a set of J1 independent logistic regressions for the probability of Y=j versus the probability of the reference Y=J. Some of the prominent social media platforms have intended to stop the proliferation of misinformation with different features like relying on users reporting mechanisms (Chan et al., 2017; Lewandowsky et al., 2012) or using fact-checkers to analyze content that already went viral through the network (Chung & Kim, 2021; Tambuscio et al., 2018; Tambuscio et al., 2015). Misinformation false or inaccurate information of all kinds, from honest mistakes to conspiracy theories and its more intentional subset, disinformation, are both thriving, fueled by a once-in-a-generation pandemic, extreme political polarization and a brave new world of social media. 2016 The 197 websites hosting the 92,112 articles are: In comparison to other datasets, the one used in this paper includes more sources and more articles than any other: Extant research in the human cognition and behavioral sciences can be leveraged to identify misinformation online through quantitative measures. Cite this article. Humanit Soc Sci Commun 9, 162 (2022). 97106). However, not all misinformation is created equal. A tendency to see the world as a threatening, nonrandom place without fixed definitions of moralityor to use intuition over analytical thinking when processing informationfurther predicts conspiratorial belief (Moulding, R., et al., Personality and Individual Differences, Vol. Google Scholar, Broniatowski DA, Kerchner D, Farooq F, Huang X, Jamison AM, Dredze M, Ayers JW (2022) Twitter and Facebook posts about COVID-19 are less likely to spread misinformation compared to other health topics. Regarding first differences, one can see that increasing the readability score from 6.78 to 22 has no effect on the probabilities of content being classified as factual news (p=0.000, CI=[0.003, 0.003]), decrease by 6.44% the probabilities of being clickbait (CI=[0.074, 0.056]), a decrease of 5.16% for conspiracy theories (CI=[0.061, 0.042]), or a decrease of 3.47% in rumors (CI=[0.044, 0.026]); remarkably, increasing the readability translates into a decrease of 35% of being classified as fake news (CI=[0.361, 0.344]). It allows any image or video frame to be processed in near real-time and identifies each of the distinct objects in the image. J Mod Res Engl Lang Stud 7(1):133161, Berger J (2011) Arousal increases social transmission of information. pp. 4 one can see the results of the multinominal logistic regression model with each column comparing the corresponding misinformation category to the baseline (factual news). However, prior studies only focus on one or just a few specific categories, usually fake news. Signing up enhances your TCE experience with the ability to save items to your personal reading list, and access the interactive map. The algorithm matches words in the lexicon in each text and adds/subtracts points as it effectively finds positive and negative words in the dictionary that appear in the text. First differences of the multinominal logit modelSentiment. To do so, researchers could look at common characteristics and relationships between sources for each category. 5Lewandowsky, S., et al. He describes the "great media blunders . Mol Psychiatr 16(3):273281, Rubin VL, Chen Y, Conroy NK (2015) Deception detection for news: Three types of fakes. Topics covered include the original image of Christ; the true story about the Moors; the original people of Asia; the great west African empires; the presence of Africans in America before Columbus . Psychological research looks at individual differences in demographic, personality, and other traits of those who are more likely to believe misinformation and conspiracy theories, with the ultimate goal of characterizing the underlying processes that lead people to accept such claims. With this, the total within-cluster variation is defined as: To select the number of clusters, I use the elbow method with the aim to minimize the intra-cluster variation: The main objective of this paper is not just to report descriptive differences between reliable news and misinformation sources, but to look for systemic variance among their structural features measured through the four variables. Researchers also observed that beliefs persist even after misinformation is corrected and began to test interventions for resisting persuasion.2, 1990s2000s Appl Stat 28:126130, Hauch V, Blandn-Gitlin I, Masip J, Sporer SL (2015) Are computers effective lie detectors? Misinformation is a type of fake news, which is false information reported by media outlets or shared by regular people. Contrarily, the same change in the scenario is associated with an increase being classified as conspiracy theory (p=0.021, CI=[0.009, 0.033]), clickbait (p=0.026, CI=[0.012, 0.040]), or fake news (p=0.066, CI=[0.055, 0.079]). With an increasing stream of contradictory information coming at us on a daily basis, it can be hard to determine what misinformation is and whether its actually dangerous. These results indicate that increasing the perplexity of content increases the probabilities of a content being classified as junk science, clickbait or factual news while decreasing perplexity augments the probability of a piece of text being classified as conspiracy theory, fake news, hate speech or rumors. Then, clickbait (p=155.07, [CI=154.57, 155.57]) and junk science (p=163.91, [CI=163.53, 164.30]) are the categories right below factual content (p=174.23, [CI = 172.99, 175.47]). 02:33:54. Researchers have also started to document the scope of the infodemic. For example, the Pew Research Center found that only 17% of US adults have the skills to safely navigate the information ecosystem (Horrigan, 2016).

More specifically, the novelty and benefits of the paper are fourfold: Volume benefits: A solution must be scalable. Psychologists say that countering misinformation will ultimately require stronger partnerships with social media platforms, which can help disseminate tools such as Go Viral! and provide internal data to researchers studying fake news.

For example, Bovet and Makse (2019) use Media Bias Fact Check to classify tweets according to their crowdsourced classification instead of manually classifying tweet by tweet. This has made an impact, but the problem has certainly grown faster than the solutions, Starbird says. ACM Association for Computing Machinery, Taylor L (2020) Covid-19 misinformation sparks threats and violence against doctors in Latin America. Based on the information manipulation theory and the four-factor theory, I propose several parametrizations that can allow to statistically distinguish between factual news and a myriad of misinformation categories. Psychological research backs several methods of countering misinformation. Ships worldwide. In total, the database consists of 213,177 articles. Even though I tried my best to select different sources for each category, I am aware of the potential limitation that the results could be based on domain-specific features. Focusing on the evolution of traditional media outlets could shed light on the question whether reliable sources are trying to draw on the mechanisms of virality to help increase their penetration (e.g., reliable news becoming more appealing to emotions, titles becoming more exciting, content easier to read, etc.)? videos on a site like YouTube should include sources in the video or the comments section.
