关于 COVID-19 的相互矛盾的信息比比皆是，从对口罩预防病毒传播有效性的分歧，到对某些治疗方法前景的相互矛盾的说法。尽管有关 COVID-19 的相互矛盾的信息可能会产生不利的公共健康影响，但我们对美国公众是否注意到这一信息以及某些人群是否特别有可能注意到这一信息知之甚少。为了解决这些问题，我们于 2020 年 4 月下旬对美国成年人进行了一项全国代表性调查（N = 1,007）。结果显示，大量参与者自我报告接触过有关 COVID-19 的相互矛盾的信息，近 75% 的参与者表示最近从卫生专家、政治家和/或其他人那里听到过此类信息。参与者在一系列与 COVID-19 相关的问题上存在分歧，但更多的是政客而非健康专家。政治立场、信息源使用和个人感染 COVID-19 的经历等因素与分歧看法相关。未来的研究应该考虑这种看法的潜在认知和行为后果。
Conflicting information surrounding COVID-19 abounds, from disagreement over the effectiveness of face masks in preventing viral transmission to competing claims about the promise of certain treatments. Despite the potential for conflicting information about COVID-19 to produce adverse public health effects, little is known about whether the U.S. public notices this information, and whether certain population subgroups are particularly likely to do so. To address these questions, we fielded a nationally representative survey of U.S. adults in late April 2020 (N = 1,007). Results showed substantial self-reported exposure to conflicting information about COVID-19, with nearly 75% of participants reporting having recently heard such information from health experts, politicians, and/or others. Participants perceived disagreement across a range of COVID-19-related issues, though from politicians more than health experts. Factors including political affiliation, information source use, and personal experience with COVID-19 were associated with perceptions of disagreement. Future research should consider potential cognitive and behavioral consequences of such perceptions.
