对Stephan Lewandowsky,Ullrich KH Ecker和John Cook的一篇文章的评论(见记录2017-57700-001)。莱万多夫斯基、埃克和库克开始他们发人深省的文章,在“后真相”时代,知识是精英主义的,专家失去了合法性。在这个未来,事实不是由专家推理决定的,而是由社交媒体上的舆论市场决定的;内容在社交网络上的传播极易受到操纵,而Twitter和Facebook等流行平台是使错误信息大规模传播的动力。作者指出,有真正的理由担心这种反乌托邦可能成为现实,当代社会中错误信息的普遍存在正在破坏知情公众做出民主决策的能力。他们进一步认为,我们目前的后真相景观是社会和政治大趋势的产物,以及由此产生的挑战先前传统证据标准的替代认识论。Lewandowsky等人最后推荐了一种“技术认知”方法;这种方法以心理学原理为基础,提供了技术解决方案,以促进高质量信息的传播,并阻止错误信息的传播。(PsycInfo数据库记录(c)2022阿帕,保留所有权利)
Comments on an article by Stephan Lewandowsky, Ullrich KH Ecker & John Cook (see record 2017-57700-001). Lewandowsky, Ecker, and Cook begin their thoughtprovoking article by positing a dystopian future in a “post-truth” era where knowledge is elitist and experts have lost legitimacy. In this future, facts are determined not by expert reasoning, but by an opinion market on social media; the propagation of content across social networks is highly susceptible to manipulation, and popular platforms such as Twitter and Facebook are powerhouses that enable misinformation to spread on a massive scale. The authors state that there is genuine cause to be concerned that this dystopia could be becoming a reality, and that the prevalence of misinformation in contemporary society is undermining the capacity for a well-informed public to make democratic decisions. They further argue that our current post-truth landscape is a product of social and political mega trends, and a resultant alternative epistemology that challenges previously conventional standards of evidence. Lewandowsky et al. conclude by recommending a “techno cognition” approach; underpinned by psychological principles, this approach provides technological solutions to promote the spread of high-quality information and discourage the spread of misinformation.(PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2022 APA, all rights reserved)
