Jüngst wird viel geredet über #TikTok-Dominanz der #AfD und deren (möglichen) Einfluss auf #Europawahlen. Oft ohne empirische Belege. Unsere Daten (Befragung, Mai/Juni, 2879 👥) zeigen einen Zusammenhang (≠Effekt!) zwischen der Informationsnutzung und #AfD-Präferenz.

📢 Our new study that digs into the Facebook-content of alternative media across five countries (Switzerland, France, Germany, UK, US) has just been published #OpenAccess 📢
ONLINE FIRST & OPEN ACCESS! This study by @astaender, @EddaHumprecht and @esserfrank_ examines alternative media coverage of Covid-19: light and heavy distortion were prevalent, while extreme misinformation attracted smaller but more engaged audiences. ➡️tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.…

After we developed the concept of "source proximity," @markcoddington and I wondered if outlets could be distinguished by their mix of sources and evidence: Do alternative media also have alternative epistemologies? Our research suggests yes: tandfonline.com/eprint/BA2FN…

How do people use #social #media if they overestimate their knowledge about scientific topics like #COVID19? Our new study shows: In 🇩🇪🇹🇼, overestimation is not linked to social media exposure, but to more engagement – and to #populist views of #science 🔗 journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.…

How do people perceive #science and its role in society? Do they #trust scientists? 🧑🏾‍🔬 We did a global 67-country survey (n=71,417) to test this, working with 239 researchers from all continents – the #TISP #ManyLabs study. It’s now available as #preprint: osf.io/preprints/osf/6ay7s

Our new paper describes that "The Identity-based Model of Political Belief" and explains how social identity shapes information processing and contributes to the belief and spread of #misinformation Partisanship involves cognitive and motivational aspects that shape party members' beliefs and actions. This includes whether they seek further evidence, where they seek that evidence, and which sources they trust. Understanding the interplay between social identity and accuracy is crucial in addressing misinformation.
