Laughing Through the Myths
The rise of health-related misinformation on social media has caused many young women to shift from hormonal methods to natural contraceptive options. This study examines the effectiveness of satirical corrections in countering misinformation about contraceptives on TikTok. A total of 678 Dutch-speaking women aged 18-35, either watched TikTok videos containing misinformation about contraception followed by (1) no correction, (2) a non-humorous co…
Combatting the Misinformation Crisis
Due to the prevalence of misinformation in current media environments, there is an urgent need for effective media literacy interventions that broadly protect people from its negative effects. However, such interventions do not always have their desired impact, calling for a better understanding of the factors influencing their efficacy. Therefore, we conducted a systematic literature review on 80 experimental studies, following the PRISMA checkl…
Combatting the persuasive effects of misinformation
We posit that research into misinformation interventions puts too much focus on informational outcomes (e.g. perceived accuracy of misinformation), and too little on persuasive outcomes (e.g. inferred beliefs, attitudes, intentions, and behaviors). Because of the informational outcome focus, common misinformation interventions (i.e. forewarning and debunking) have not been systematically tested for their ability to mitigate persuasive effects. In…
Debunking the corporate paint shop
Misinformation thrives on social media, prompting much research into social media interventions such as debunks. This paper tests debunking’s effectiveness against an understudied but prominent form of online misinformation: misleading organizational claims of corporate social responsibility, or CSR-washing . British participants ( N = 657) took part in a preregistered experiment with a 2 (debunk: present, absent) x 3 (CSR-washing: greenwashing, …
Disgust sensitivity relates to affective responses to – but not ability to detect – olfactory cues to pathogens
Hundreds of studies have assessed variation in the degree to which people experience disgust toward substances associated with pathogens, but little is known about the mechanistic sources of this variation. The current investigation uses olfactory perception and threshold methods to test whether it is apparent at the cue-detection level, at the cue-interpretation level, or both. It further tests whether relations between disgust sensitivity and o…
Continued influence of misinformation in times of Covid ‐19
Health‐related misinformation, especially in times of a global health crisis, can have severe negative consequences on public health. In the current studies, we investigated the persuasive impact of COVID‐19‐related misinformation, and whether the valence of the misinformation and recipients' degree of overconfidence affect this impact. In two pre‐registered experimental studies, participants ( N = 403; N = 437) were exposed to either a positive …
