这项2×2的实验研究(N=196)测试了读者评论中的来源专业知识和意见价格对一篇关于转基因生物(GMO)的在线新闻报道的可信度的影响。消息来源的专业知识对文章可信度的看法有很大影响；当故事中嵌入的公众评论来自专家来源(例如，科学家)而不是非专家来源(例如，Twitter用户)时，文章被认为更可信。无论评论是支持还是反对转基因生物，对高频新闻用户的影响都更大。结果表明，网民主要使用信息加工的边缘路径或启发式路径来评价网络新闻的可信度。讨论了通过他人意见进行社会启发式的网络新闻的重要性。
This 2 × 2 experimental study (N = 196) tested the effects of source expertise and opinion valence in readers’ comments on the credibility of an online news story about genetically modified organisms (GMOs). Source expertise had a significant influence on perceptions of article credibility; articles were judged more credible when public comments embedded in the story were from expert sources (e.g., scientists) rather than nonexpert sources (e.g., Twitter users). Effects were larger on high-frequency news users, regardless of whether comments were for or against GMOs. Results suggest that Internet users mainly use the peripheral or heuristic route of information processing to evaluate online news credibility. The importance for online journalism of social heuristics via opinions of other people is discussed.
