Mobilizing Users: Does Exposure to Misinformation and Its Correction Affect Users’ Responses to a Health Misinformation Post? Experimental Design
- Recruited 610 participants from Amazon’s Mechanical Turk in September 2018
- Participants randomly assigned to one of ten experiments, but only four are analyzed and discussed in this paper (ignored the pure control condition and 5 conditions that used two tweets)
- Participants were shown 6 tweets from a simulated feed (5 neutral and 1 manipulated) and required to spend at least 15 seconds on each
- After reading through the tweets, participants answered questions about their general opinion about the tweet and their likelihood to reply and what they would share if they did
- The manipulation post was the third one shown and it was a meme that said pasteurization kills nutrients in raw milk
