Concept
Social correction across party lines in a Twitter field experiment - Experimental Design
- Blocked users based on follower count (status), tweets in the last two weeks (activity), mentions in the last two weeks, replies in the last two weeks, and political stance
- Users in each block randomly assigned to one of four conditions (social, asocial, partisan agreement, partisan discordant)
- Used a 2x2 between-subject design
- Social condition: bots followed users and liked their three most recent tweets one day before corrections were sent
- Partisan agreement condition: bots with the same political view sent correction message to users
- Partisan discordant condition: bots with opposite political view sent correction message to users
