  • Accuracy or confidence? Analyzing the impact of online misinformation on Filipino youth voting likelihood

    Gabrielle Ann S Mendoza, Kier Jesse Ballar et al.ARTICLEMedia Asia2024

    How does online misinformation affect citizen’s likelihood to vote? The risk of fake news on social media does not only lie in the false narratives spread by manipulated content but also in the misplaced confidence cultivated by the way fake news is consumed.

Using quasibinomial models, a two-model approach was conducted to disentangle the accuracy goals and partisan goals of the students. We find that polarized supp…
