Concept

Shifting attention to accuracy can reduce misinformation online - Twitter intervention study analysis

  • Ran linear regressions with heteroscedasticity-robust standard errors and Fisherian Randomization Inference (FRI) for all users in each of the treatment days
  • Compared users who have and have not been sent the message
  • Used an intent-to-treat approach to assume all messages were sent at the same time
  • Average relative quality score – every tweet given a quality score
  • Summed relative quality score – keeps track of all tweets/retweets by a user
  • Discernment – the difference between tweets/links shared from mainstream sources and unreliable sources per day
