错误的信息引发了政府的调查，并威胁到竞选过程和选举结果的合法性。在英国脱欧辩论中，留欧和脱欧同情者之间出现了新的身份两极分化，并伴随着对错误信息使用的相关指控。关于人们如何接受和捍卫错误信息的相互竞争的心理学解释将自我强化的动机性认知与缺乏系统推理作为可能的解释。我们利用政治学，认知神经科学和心理学的见解来研究信任和身份对一组Remain标识符中Brexit信息处理的影响。在行为上，参与者对英国脱欧相关信息的情感反应受信息的情感效价是否与他们对英国脱欧的信念（积极/消极）相容的影响，而不是受他们对信息来源的信任的影响。然而，在信息的信念显着影响（不）信任的信息来源和信念的信息效价的兼容性。神经影像学结果证实了这一模式，确定了涉及自我判断的区域，他人和情感威胁刺激的自动处理，最终支持了错误信息认可的动机认知账户。这篇文章是“政治大脑：神经认知和计算机制”主题的一部分。
Misinformation has triggered government inquiries and threatens the perceived legitimacy of campaign processes and electoral outcomes. A new identity polarization has arisen between Remain and Leave sympathizers in the UK Brexit debate, with associated accusations of misinformation use. Competing psychological accounts of how people come to accept and defend misinformation pit self-reinforcing motivated cognition against lack of systematic reasoning as possible explanations. We harness insights from political science, cognitive neuroscience and psychology to examine the impact of trust and identity on information processing regarding Brexit in a group of Remain identifiers. Behaviourally, participants' affective responses to Brexit-related information are affected by whether the emotional valence of the message is compatible with their beliefs on Brexit (positive/negative) but not by their trust in the source of information. However, belief in the information is significantly affected by both (dis)trust in information source and by belief compatibility with the valence of the information. Neuroimaging results confirm this pattern, identifying areas involved in judgements of the self, others and automatic processing of affectively threatening stimuli, ultimately supporting motivated cognition accounts of misinformation endorsement. This article is part of the theme issue ‘The political brain: neurocognitive and computational mechanisms’.
