Collaborative Research: SaTC: CORE: Large: The research design “focuses on how different ways of presenting misinformation affect people’s attitudes, beliefs, and social identities. The design will show how psychological predispositions, moral values, sociocultural attitudes, social identity, group affinities and other factors influence who believes misinformation – and who rejects or ignores it.

The project also examines how network structures shape where and how false beliefs spread. The project’s research will be broadly disseminated to help scholars, policy experts, and social media designers create more contexts that empower more people to base their decisions on accurate facts.”
