Extending previous research, we test two solutions for addressing misinformation by pairing news literacy (NL) messages with corrective responses to health misinformation shared on Twitter. Importantly, we consider a range of outcomes, including not just credibility or misperceptions, but also feelings of news literacy and support for its value. Using an experiment, we find that user corrections of a meme containing false information reduced credibility assessments of the misinformation post and misperceptions but seeing misinformation also produced lower perceptions of personal news literacy and its value for society, regardless of whether it is corrected or not. Exposure to an NL message did not enhance the effectiveness of these corrective responses nor boost NL attitudes and may have generated cynicism. We discuss the challenges of designing NL messages for social media that achieve the wide range of goals news literacy interventions aspire to address.

在应对Twitter上的错误信息时评估新闻素养和纠正的相对优点

在扩展以前的研究的基础上,我们通过将新闻素养(NL)消息与在Twitter上共享的针对健康错误信息的纠正措施进行配对,测试了两种解决错误信息的解决方案。重要的是,我们考虑了一系列结果,不仅包括信誉或误解,还包括新闻素养的感受和对其价值的支持。通过一个实验,我们发现用户对包含虚假信息的模因进行的纠正会降低对错误信息发布和误解的可信度评估,但是看到错误信息也会降低对个人新闻素养及其对社会的价值的认识,而无论它是否得到纠正。接触NL信息并不能提高这些纠正措施的有效性,也不能提高NL态度,并且可能会产生犬儒主义。
