Increasing misinformation spread poses a threat to older adults but there is little research on older adults within the fake news literature. Embedded in the Changes in Integration for Social Decisions in Aging (CISDA) model, this study examined the role of (a) analytical reasoning; (b) affect; (c) news consumption frequency, and their interplay with (d) news content on news veracity detection in aging. Conducted during the early phase of the COVID-19 pandemic, the present study asked participants to view and evaluate COVID or non-COVID (i.e., everyday) news articles, followed by measures of analytical reasoning, affect, and news consumption frequency. News veracity detection was comparable between young and older adults. Additionally, fake news detection for non-COVID news was predicted by individual differences in analytic reasoning for both age groups. However, chronological age effects in fake news detection emerged within the older adult sample and interacted with the CISDA-derived components of analytical reasoning, affect, and news consumption frequency by news content. Collectively, these findings suggest that age-related vulnerabilities to deceptive news are only apparent in very old age. Our findings advance understanding of psychological mechanisms in news veracity detection in aging. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2022 APA, all rights reserved).

“信息流行病”中的老化:分析推理、影响和新闻消费频率对新闻真实性检测的作用。

越来越多的错误信息传播对老年人构成威胁,但在假新闻文献中对老年人的研究很少。在老龄化社会决策整合变化 (CISDA) 模型中,本研究考察了 (a) 分析推理的作用;(b) 影响;(c) 新闻消费频率,以及它们与 (d) 新闻内容对老龄化新闻真实性检测的相互作用。本研究在 COVID-19 大流行的早期阶段进行,要求参与者查看和评估 COVID 或非 COVID(即日常)新闻文章,然后测量分析推理、影响和新闻消费频率。新闻真实性检测在年轻人和老年人之间具有可比性。此外,非 COVID 新闻的假新闻检测是通过两个年龄组的分析推理的个体差异来预测的。然而,假新闻检测中的实际年龄效应出现在老年人样本中,并与 CISDA 衍生的分析推理、情感和新闻内容消费频率的组成部分相互作用。总的来说,这些发现表明,与年龄相关的对欺骗性新闻的脆弱性仅在非常年老时才会显现。我们的研究结果促进了对老龄化新闻真实性检测的心理机制的理解。(PsycInfo 数据库记录 (c) 2022 APA,保留所有权利)。以及按新闻内容划分的新闻消费频率。总的来说,这些发现表明,与年龄相关的对欺骗性新闻的脆弱性仅在非常年老时才会显现。我们的研究结果促进了对老龄化新闻真实性检测的心理机制的理解。(PsycInfo 数据库记录 (c) 2022 APA,保留所有权利)。以及按新闻内容划分的新闻消费频率。总的来说,这些发现表明,与年龄相关的对欺骗性新闻的脆弱性仅在非常年老时才会显现。我们的研究结果促进了对老龄化新闻真实性检测的心理机制的理解。(PsycInfo 数据库记录 (c) 2022 APA,保留所有权利)。
