尽管假新闻的兴起对全世界社会构成了越来越大的威胁，但人们对“假新闻”一词在公众心目中激起的联想却知之甚少。在这里，我们报告了一种心理偏见，我们将其描述为“假新闻效应”：党派人士倾向于使用“假新闻”一词来贬低和抹黑意识形态上不一致的媒体来源。在美国人口的全国样本中（N = 1000），我们引出了人们对“假新闻”一词的首要联想。与我们的假设一致，我们发现证据表明自由派和保守派都自由地将传统左翼（例如 CNN）和右翼（例如福克斯新闻）媒体来源与“假新闻”一词联系起来。此外，保守派特别有可能将主流媒体与“假新闻”一词联系起来，而这些看法通常与对媒体信任度较低、投票支持特朗普以及对阴谋论的较高信仰有关。
Although the rise of fake news is posing an increasing threat to societies worldwide, little is known about what associations the term ‘fake news’ activates in the public mind. Here, we report a psychological bias that we describe as the ‘fake news effect’: the tendency for partisans to use the term ‘fake news’ to discount and discredit ideologically uncongenial media sources. In a national sample of the US population (N = 1000), we elicited top-of-mind associations with the term ‘fake news’. Consistent with our hypothesis, we find evidence that both liberals and conservatives freely associate traditionally left-wing (e.g. CNN) and right-wing (e.g. Fox News) media sources with the term fake news. Moreover, conservatives are especially likely to associate the mainstream media with the term fake news and these perceptions are generally linked to lower trust in media, voting for Trump, and higher belief in conspiracy theories.
