摘要

事实核查和纠正虚假信息已成为打击网上错误信息的有效方法。但在使用加密消息应用程序(EMA)的情况下,更正必须来自对等方。这种社会矫正有效吗?如果是,纠正信息需要如何得到证实?为了回答这些问题,我们评估了不同类型的社会矫正对印度错误信息持续存在的影响([公式:见正文]5100)。通过一项在线实验,我们发现社会矫正大大减少了对错误信息的信念,包括深深植根于显著群体身份的信念。重要的是,这些积极影响并没有被党派动机的推理系统地削弱,这突出了与西方背景的显著差异。我们还发现,纠正的存在与这种纠正的复杂程度有关:用来源证明纠正只会在少数情况下提高其效果;此外,当社会矫正有效时,引用来源并不能显著提高其效果的大小。这些结果对用户和平台都有影响,有助于打击依赖私人消息应用程序的发展中国家的错误信息。

“I Don’t Think That’s True, Bro!” Social Corrections of Misinformation in India
Fact-checks and corrections of falsehoods have emerged as effective ways to counter misinformation online. But in contexts with encrypted messaging applications (EMAs), corrections must necessarily emanate from peers. Are such social corrections effective? If so, how substantiated do corrective messages need to be? To answer these questions, we evaluate the effect of different types of social corrections on the persistence of misinformation in India ([Formula: see text]5,100). Using an online experiment, we show that social corrections substantially reduce beliefs in misinformation, including in beliefs deeply anchored in salient group identities. Importantly, these positive effects are not systematically attenuated by partisan motivated reasoning, highlighting a striking difference from Western contexts. We also find that the presence of a correction matters more relative to how sophisticated this correction is: substantiating a correction with a source only improves its effect in a minority of cases; besides, when social corrections are effective, citing a source does not drastically improve the size of their effect. These results have implications for both users and platforms and speak to countering misinformation in developing countries that rely on private messaging apps.
