The story included quotes from a made-up Halifax police officer, who warned that you may as well be chewing on a gun. That prompted the real Halifax police to call the CBC newsroom Both junk science and rumors tend to be significantly more positive than reliable news. Publishers note Springer Nature remains neutral with regard to jurisdictional claims in published maps and institutional affiliations. To the best of my knowledge, the findings presented in this paper are a compelling and impactful demonstration that not all misinformation is created equal. 4. Tsugawa S, Ohsaki H (2017) On the relation between message sentiment and its virality on social media. This has implications for previous and future research.

When the infodemic struck, van der Linden and Roozenbeek built a new online game, Go Viral!, which aims to prebunk common misinformation surrounding COVID-19. Their speedy development, in addition to well-grounded skepticism of the medical establishment among minority groups, also contribute to public uncertainty. provincial or municipal governments. 2A, B one can observe that the Euclidean distance between factual news and rumors is 37.68, with fake news is 35.69, with hate content is 34.84, with conspiracy theories is 34.33, with clickbait is 21.71 and with junk science is 12.00. Other fact-checking sites include FactCheck.org,International 110, No. The psychology and politics of conspiracy theories Moreover, another fingerprint of misinformation is its reliance on emotions (Bakir & McStay, 2018; Kramer et al., 2014; Martel et al., 2019; Taddicken & Wolff, 2020). 47, No. Advance Hidden Colors 5 DVD. Building upon entropy, perplexity measures the amount of randomness in a text: where in our case is 2, and the exponent is the cross-entropy. Hidden Colors 2- The Triumph of Melanin (2012) Documentary. One is to debunk incorrect information after it has spread. One of the main reasons proposed to explain this behavior is the dual-process theory of judgment stating that emotional thinking (in contrast to a more analytical thinking) hinders good judgment (Evans, 2003; Stanovich, 2005). Participants are asked to analyze the official social media users associated with each website to check if they are using any of the strategies listed above. = x_1, \ldots ,X_p = x_p} \right]e^{\beta _{0j} + \beta _{1j}X_1 + \ldots + \beta _{pj}X_p}}}{{1 + \mathop {\sum }\nolimits_{l = 1}^{J - 1} e^{\beta _{0l} + \beta _{1l}X_1 + \ldots + \beta _{pl}X_p}}}$$, $$p_j\left( x \right): = \frac{{{\Bbb P}\left[ {Y = J\left| {X_1} \right. In response, psychologists accelerated their research on the spread of online misinformation and how to address it.4, 2018Present Since misinformation creators are aware of counter-measure interventions, they may be adapting to them through adversarial machine learning (Huang et al., 2011), that is, changing their structural characteristics to avoid detection in automated systems. (2020). 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 answer is complicated because the existing evidence shows that the prominence of deceptive content is driven by three factors: volume, breadth, and speed. In other words, the results should be interpreted on the aggregated or average effect, and not in the specific source effect. Although there is little research on how moral content contributes to online virality (Rathje et al., 2021), the mechanism is grounded in social identity theory (Tajfel & Turner, 1979) and self-categorization theory (Turner et al., 1987) and lies in the idea that group identities are hyper salient on social media (Brady et al., 2017) because they act as a form of self-conscious identity representation (Kraft et al., 2020; van Dijck, 2013). As an educator I HIGHLY recommend 'Hidden Colors' for EVERYONE. A long history of propaganda, misleading corporate studies, paltering, and revisionist history has added to our post-truth world. Finally, although we employed widely used dictionaries in the literature, the results are also contingent to the specificities of each dictionary I employed. Winchea. Whats the whole story? Despite its limitations, the obtained results also suggest interesting paths for future research. 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. 2, 2017; Jolley, D., & Douglas, K. M., Journal of Applied Social Psychology, Vol. 1, No. When stories shared online dont clearly show the source, satire can be mistaken for real news. One key to stanching the deluge of misinformation is to halt its spread on social media platforms, but that requires industry buy-in, which has been slow. 72(2), 228241. Using the mentioned variables, we can quickly classify every content shared in social networks at the exact moment when it is posted with little human intervention, helping to mitigate the volume challenge. 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. J Commun 65(4):699719, Wheeler T (2017) Using public interest algorithms to tackle the problems created by social media algorithms, Zervopoulos A, Alvanou AG, Bezas K, Papamichail A, Maragoudakis M, Kermanidis K (2020) Hong Kong protests: using natural language processing for fake news detection on twitter. Sources that entirely fabricate information, disseminate deceptive content, or grossly distort actual news reports. The negative sign ensures that the result is always positive or zero.

In contrast, it also translates into a 11.44% decrease in being classified as a conspiracy theory (CI=[0.122, 0.107]), a 11.45% decrease of being fake news (CI=[0.123, 0.105]), a 13.15 decrease in being hate speech (CI=[0.140, 0.123]) and a 18.27% decrease of being a rumor (CI=[0.193, 0.175]). 359, No. 6, 1980). For example, rumors split from hate speech, conspiracy theories and fake news at height=6.68. First differences of the multinominal logit modelMorality. 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. 10, No. The health benefits of animal companions have been supported by science but not society, with the disadvantaged facing similar barriers to pet ownership as they do in securing proper healthcare, experts said at the Harvard T.H. One of these items ships sooner than the other. This will mitigate the volume, breadth, and speed challenges they face to mitigate the spread of misinformation, since the presented findings can be used to build machine-learning classification algorithms that could categorize content at the exact moment it is posted. It allows any image or video frame to be processed in near real-time and identifies each of the distinct objects in the image. For example, after a man drove a van along a Toronto sidewalk in 2018, killing 10 people and hurting 16, misinformation 5, 2015; van der Linden, S., Political Psychology, online first publication, 2020). In contrast, using the results provided in this paper, these platforms may use the same system without the need to explicitly identify the source as misleading and recommending related stories based on the assessment of the readability, perplexity, emotionality, and morality levels of the content being shared. Learn to decode the intricate system of symbols that are a part of everyday life -- from advertising messages to traffic signs. Psychologists research on misinformation may help in the fight to debunk myths surrounding COVID-19. But we need to start developing consensus around the facts, says Kasisomayajula Viswanath, Lee Kum Kee Professor of Health Communication. For example, a text containing the string bla bla bla bla bla has an entropy of 0 because p(bla)=1 (a certainty), while the string this is an example of higher entropy has an entropy of 2.807355 (higher uncertainty). An excerpt from the new book Demagogue: The Life and Long Shadow of Senator Joe McCarthy by Larry Tye. CAS 133, No. In general, it is accepted that there are several categories of misinformation delimited by its authenticity and intent. LitCharts assigns a color and icon to each theme in Columbine, which you can use to track the themes throughout the work. Similarly, Researchers have also started to document the scope of the infodemic. The assessment of third-party fact-checkers or users reports is sometimes a slow process and misinformation often persist after being exposed to corrective messages (Chan et al., 2017). Six degrees of manipulationimpersonation, conspiracy, emotion, polarization, discrediting, and trollingare used to spread misinformation and disinformation, according to Sander van der Linden, PhD, a professor of social psychology in society at the University of Cambridge in the United Kingdom and director of the Cambridge Social Decision-Making Lab, and his colleagues. For each article, I calculated measures of cognitive effort (readability and perplexity) and evocation to emotions (sentiment analysis and appeal to morality). On the contrary, reliance on emotion is associated with misinformation sharing (Weeks, 2015) or believing in conspiracy theories (Garrett & Weeks, 2017; Martel et al., 2019). Of course given the subject its dealing with the producers likely had to make sure that it was as careful as possible when presenting the information. Indeed, there is experimental evidence that engaging in analytic thinking reduces the propensity to share fake news (Bago et al., 2020; Gordon Pennycook et al., 2015; Gordon Pennycook & Rand, 2019). (2021, March 1). = x_1, \ldots ,X_p = x_p} \right]1}}{{1 + \mathop {\sum }\nolimits_{l = 1}^{J - 1} e^{\beta _{0l} + \beta _{1l}X_1 + \ldots + \beta _{pl}X_p}}}$$, $$\frac{{p_j\left( X \right)}}{{p_J\left( X \right)}} = e^{\beta _{0j} + \beta _{1j}X_1 + \ldots + \beta _{pj}X_p}$$, $${{{\mathrm{log}}}}\left( {\frac{{p_j\left( X \right)}}{{p_J\left( X \right)}}} \right) = \beta _{0j} + \beta _{1j}X_1 + \ldots + \beta _{pj}X_p$$, $${\mathrm{log}}\left( {\frac{{P\left( {{\mathrm{cat}} = j = {\mathrm{fake}}} \right. 7, No. The challenges of educating the public about a deadly pandemic while also dealing with an outbreak of misinformation. Use the Previous and Next buttons to navigate the slides or the slide controller buttons at the end to navigate through each slide. However, not all misinformation is created equal. However, most of the existing research does not account for these differences. 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. First, that it is scalable (Broniatowski et al., 2022) and, secondly, misinformation intent is better captured at the source level than at the article level (Grinberg et al., 2019). But psychologists who study fake news warn that its an uphill battle, one that will ultimately require a global cooperative effort among researchers, governments, and social media platforms. So far, the studies are basically like school tests, he says. While extant research has been dedicated to differentiating between factual and fake news aiming at binary classification (Choudhary & Arora, 2021; de Souza et al., 2020), there is not much evidence regarding rumors, conspiracy theories, junk science or hate speech altogether. This method allows us to use reliable news as a role model of information and see how misinformation categories diverge from this baseline. I repeat this process 100 times and average the results for the starting and ending points. But I can. With regard to cognitive effort, I obtained the following results. Since it is impossible to check everything that is being shared on social media, fact-checkers focus on content that has already become viral (usually, with information provided from social media platforms in the form of rankings). to complain about the story. Proc Natl Acad Sci USA 116(16):76767683, de Souza JV, Gomes J, Souza Filho FMde, Oliveira Julio AMde, de Souza JF (2020) A systematic mapping on automatic classification of fake news in social media. The Documentary look like an amateur film with a lot of misinformation and disinformation. Proceedings of the Fourth International AAAI Conference on Weblogs and Social Media, 4(1). That pattern also holds in other countries. 10, 2020). PubMed Central After three clusters, reliable news is the first category to be isolated from all the others, revealing its distinctive nature in terms of linguistic characteristics. example, participants in one study were shown video of a car accident. We tripled the difference in the probability of sharing true versus false information when we drew peoples attention toward accuracy, Pennycook says. Psychological research has shown that peoples memories can be made wrong by information they learn after the event theyre recalling. Pasquetto, I. V., et al.,The Harvard Kennedy School Misinformation Review, 2020, The debunking handbook 2020 One man who knows a lot. Psychological studies of both misinformation (also called fake news), which refers to any claims or depictions that are inaccurate, and disinformation, a subset of misinformation intended to mislead, are helping expose the harmful impact of fake newsand offering potential remedies. 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. 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. If people are aware that a specific content is aiming to trigger a reaction through less cognitive load and higher appealing to emotions, they will be less likely to share it (Martel et al., 2019). The story was correct for the provinces 155,000 residents, but wrong for the more than 5.8 million people who viewed it on Facebook over the following six months. Misinformation, which refers generally to spreadable falsehoods, and its more craven counterpart, disinformation -misinformation circulated to serve a political goal - have poisoned America's. 24, No. 13.

For example, emotions can be used as a strategy to convey a particular point of view when the appropriate methods are less likely to yield the desired conclusion (Kunda, 1990). Dont be fooled by false reporting. 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. 97106).

This paper explores the characteristics of misinformation content compared to factual newsthe fingerprints of misinformationusing 92,112 news articles classified into several categories: clickbait, conspiracy theories, fake news, hate speech, junk science, and rumors. Ask a librarian, or consult a fact-checking site. This is especially relevant for people with low levels of media literacy (Lazer et al., 2018) because the results show that, in general, misinformation requires less cognitive effort for being processed and is more reliant on emotions than factual information: it is easier to read, and falsified content creators use a less diverse vocabulary, which may explain why misinformation is more prevalent among low-literacy individuals (Lazer et al., 2018), and more appealing to negative emotions and moral values, which may influence our ability to discern between misinformation and factual content. I wondered where I should post this but I think you guys would appreciate it the most. In his new book, How America Lost Its Mind: The Assault on Reason Thats Crippling Our Democracy, Thomas Patterson looks at the rejection of logic and reason in American political life and how it threatens Democracy. an unbelievable amount of blustery hooplaw that is not only factually incorrect but painfully shallow and excruciatingly reaching, whats so sad about .

Anyone you share the following link with will be able to read this content: Sorry, a shareable link is not currently available for this article. Entropy is the average amount of surprise per word in each text, therefore serves as a measure of uncertainty (higher lexical diversity) and it is calculated with the following formula: where p(x) and q(x) are the probability of word x appearing in each text. In other words, misinformation categories have lower lexical diversity. 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.

From here, as seen in the hierarchical clustering, I showed how factual content is different from all the other categories and how fake news and conspiracy theories are closely related; that hate speech and rumors are also similar to conspiracy theories and hate speech or how clickbait and junk science are more similar to factual sources than to the other misinformation categories.
