本文调查了年轻人对与有争议的公共问题相关的真相主张的准确性的判断。在一项针对 15 至 27 岁青少年（N = 2,101）的全国代表性调查中进行的一项实验中，青少年被要求判断几个模拟在线帖子之一的准确性。与动机推理的研究一致，青年评估取决于（a）主张与个人之前的政策立场的一致性，并在较小程度上取决于（b）帖子是否包含不准确的陈述。为了考虑教育工作者如何提高准确性判断，我们还调查了政治知识和媒体素养教育的影响。我们发现政治知识并不能提高判断的准确性，但媒体素养教育可以。
This article investigates youth judgments of the accuracy of truth claims tied to controversial public issues. In an experiment embedded within a nationally representative survey of youth ages 15 to 27 (N = 2,101), youth were asked to judge the accuracy of one of several simulated online posts. Consistent with research on motivated reasoning, youth assessments depended on (a) the alignment of the claim with one’s prior policy position and to a lesser extent on (b) whether the post included an inaccurate statement. To consider ways educators might improve judgments of accuracy, we also investigated the influence of political knowledge and exposure to media literacy education. We found that political knowledge did not improve judgments of accuracy but that media literacy education did.
