ABSTRACT

This study explored the concept of self-efficacy in the context of fake news identification and sharing on Facebook. The results indicated that those scoring high on a measure of Facebook-based fake news self-efficacy (i.e., confidence in one’s ability to identify factually incorrect current events information on Facebook) performed increasingly well on a fake news identification and classification task. For its part, the ability to identify and properly classify fake news was shown to be negatively related to the self-reported likelihood of sharing of fake news on Facebook.

假新闻自我效能、假新闻识别和 Facebook 上的内容分享

摘要

本研究探讨了 Facebook 上假新闻识别和分享背景下的自我效能概念。结果表明，那些在基于 Facebook 的假新闻自我效能（即，对一个人在 Facebook 上识别事实不正确的时事信息的能力的信心）得分高的人在假新闻识别和分类任务中的表现越来越好。就其本身而言，识别和正确分类假新闻的能力被证明与自我报告在 Facebook 上分享假新闻的可能性呈负相关。
