在以体制不信任、支离破碎以及阴谋和虚假信息广泛传播为特点的信息环境中，公民将虚假信息视为一个突出和具有威胁性的问题。特别是在破坏性事件和危机中，新闻用户可能会认为信息不准确或具有欺骗性。使用世界不同地区的19个国家的原始比较调查研究（N = 19，037），我们发现新闻用户可能会将俄罗斯在乌克兰的战争信息视为虚假。他们更有可能将虚假信息归因于蓄意欺骗，而不是缺乏进入战区的机会或不准确的专业知识。俄罗斯的消息来源比乌克兰或西方的消息来源更有可能被指责为谎言-但这些归因偏见取决于一个国家对战争的立场。我们的研究结果显示，人们大多认为虚假信息是为了欺骗他们，并选择性地将错误信息与反对阵营联系起来。
In information environments characterized by institutional distrust, fragmentation and the widespread dissemination of conspiracies and disinformation, citizens perceive misinformation as a salient and threatening issue. Especially amidst disruptive events and crises, news users are likely to believe that information is inaccurate or deceptive. Using an original 19‐country comparative survey study across diverse regions in the world (N = 19,037), we find that news users are likely to regard information on the Russian war in Ukraine as false. They are more likely to attribute false information to deliberative deception than to a lack of access to the war area or inaccurate expert knowledge. Russian sources are substantially more likely to be blamed for falsehoods than Ukrainian or Western sources – but these attribution biases depend on a country's position on the war. Our findings reveal that people mostly believe that falsehoods are intended to deceive them, and selectively associate misinformation with the opposed camp.
