论文摘要

鉴于在线错误信息的流行和我们稀缺的认知能力,互联网用户经常被证明是此类信息的受害者。由于一些研究调查了使人们容易相信或共享错误信息的心理因素,因此,一些正在进行的研究进一步将这些发现进一步付诸实践,通过客观地识别何时以及哪些用户容易受到错误信息的影响。在该立场论文中,我们强调了正在进行的研究途径,以识别脆弱的用户:检测认知偏见并探索误导性传播器。我们还讨论了这些客观方法的潜在影响:发现更多脆弱用户的同类,并促使干预措施更有效地解决正确的用户组。最后,我们指出了两个研究漏洞漏洞研究的研究中的两个经过未来研究的机会。

Given the prevalence of online misinformation and our scarce cognitive capacity, Internet users have been shown to frequently fall victim to such information. As some studies have investigated psychological factors that make people susceptible to believe or share misinformation, some ongoing research further put these findings into practice by objectively identifying when and which users are vulnerable to misinformation. In this position paper, we highlight two ongoing avenues of research to identify vulnerable users: detecting cognitive biases and exploring misinformation spreaders. We also discuss the potential implications of these objective approaches: discovering more cohorts of vulnerable users and prompting interventions to more effectively address the right group of users. Lastly, we point out two of the understudied contexts for misinformation vulnerability research as opportunities for future research.
