Concept

Exploring lightweight interventions at posting time to reduce the sharing of misinformation on social media - Findings

  • Asking people to assess the accuracy of news claims decreased sharing of both true and false claims, but significantly more for misinformative claims
  • Asking people to explain their rationale through short responses led to similar results
  • Asking people to go through a checklist for why a claim may be false did not have significant impacts on sharing behaviors
