Concept
Perverse Downstream Consequences of Debunking - Factors that Drive Misinformation Sharing
- People share more posts that trigger emotions, and emotions also contribute to interactions following the shared content
- Accuracy does not seem to impact sharing patterns
- Previous studies have found that posts with false fact-checker ratings were shared more than true claims, as well as no difference between accuracy and sharing
- It’s not that people don’t care about accuracy; they simply don’t pay enough attention to determine whether the content they are sharing is true or not
