摘要

我们调查了受权力动机驱使的个人是否更倾向于在其在线网络中传播(错误)信息。四项研究(N = 1882)评估或操纵了长期和特定情境的权力动机,以及其他社会等级结构,如实际权力。我们的研究结果表明,在日常互动和模拟分享任务中,长期权力动机和特定情境权力动机都与帖子和新闻传播量的增加有显著关联。我们发现,受权力激励的个体会不成比例地传播更多的错误信息,而且他们对过去曾传播过错误信息有更强的意识。此外,分享(错误)信息似乎加强了这些人的权力感。在内部荟萃分析中,效果大小适中。有趣的是,实际权力本身并不影响(错误)信息的传播。这项研究为目前关于社交媒体上(错误)信息传播动机的讨论提供了宝贵的见解,突出了权力动机在推动此类行为中的作用。

Why do people share (mis)information? Power motives in social media
We investigated whether individuals driven by power motives are more inclined to disseminate (mis)information within their online networks. Four studies (N = 1882) assessed or manipulated chronic and context-specific power motives, alongside other social hierarchical constructs such as actual power. Our findings revealed that both chronic and context-specific power motives were significantly associated with increased dissemination of posts and news in daily interactions and in a simulated sharing task. Power-motivated individuals were found to disproportionately spread more misinformation and demonstrated greater awareness of having disseminated misinformation in the past. Moreover, sharing (mis)information appeared to reinforce the sense of power among these individuals. Effect size magnitudes were moderate in an internal meta-analysis. Interestingly, actual power per se did not influence the spread of (mis)information. This study contributes valuable insights to the ongoing discourse on the motivations behind the spread of (mis)information on social media, highlighting the role of power motives in driving such behaviors.

期刊介绍: Computers in Human Behavior is a scholarly journal that explores the psychological aspects of computer use. It covers original theoretical works, research reports, literature reviews, and software and book reviews. The journal examines both the use of computers in psychology, psychiatry, and related fields, and the psychological impact of computer use on individuals, groups, and society. Articles discuss topics such as professional practice, training, research, human development, learning, cognition, personality, and social interactions.
