网上错误信息的威胁已经引起了媒体的极大关注，而打击错误信息的合理解决方案往往不尽如人意。在一个无处不在的在线社交分享环境中，我们认为个人可以在阻止错误信息传播方面发挥重要作用。我们进行了一项调查（n = 396），以阐明预测（i）识别社交媒体上虚假信息的感知能力，以及（ii）未经验证的信息共享行为的因素。一组回归分析表明，知觉自我效能感，发现社会媒体上的错误信息预测的收入和教育水平，互联网技能的信息寻求和验证，以及对信息验证的态度。我们还发现，未经验证的社交媒体上的信息共享是由互联网经验，信息搜索，共享和验证的互联网技能，对信息验证的态度，以及对信息可靠性的信念预测。有关信息素养的建议，个人作为媒体看门人谁验证社交媒体信息的作用，以及独立确证的重要性进行了讨论。
The menace of misinformation online has gained considerable media attention and plausible solutions for combatting misinformation have often been less than satisfactory. In an environment of ubiquitous online social sharing, we contend that it is the individuals that can play a major role in halting the spread of misinformation. We conducted a survey (n = 396) to illuminate the factors that predict (i) the perceived ability to recognise false information on social media, and (ii) the behaviour of sharing of information without verification. A set of regression analyses reveal that the perceived self-efficacy to detect misinformation on social media is predicted by income and level of education, Internet skills of information seeking and verification, and attitude towards information verification. We also found that sharing of information on social media without verification is predicted by Internet experience, Internet skills of information seeking, sharing, and verification, attitude towards information verification, and belief in the reliability of information. Recommendations regarding information literacy, the role of individuals as media gatekeepers who verify social media information, and the importance of independent corroboration are discussed.
