This project aims to understand why people believe misinformation. Misinformation causes some people to adopt implausible beliefs. These beliefs pose a significant challenge for society because they can result in behaviours that negatively impact personal and public safety. By combining surveys, qualitative analysis, and systematic experimentation, this project will identify differences in evidence evaluation and persuasiveness between people who believe misinformation and those who do not. It is anticipated that our novel approach will build knowledge about misinformation effects and will reduce associated harms by expanding our understanding of how to communicate effectively with people who are persuaded by misinformation.

这个项目旨在了解为什么人们相信错误的信息。错误的信息导致一些人接受难以置信的信念。这些信念对社会构成重大挑战，因为它们可能导致对个人和公共安全产生负面影响的行为。通过结合调查、定性分析和系统实验，本项目将确定相信错误信息的人与不相信错误信息的人在证据评估和说服力方面的差异。预计我们的新方法将建立有关错误信息影响的知识，并通过扩大我们对如何与被错误信息说服的人进行有效沟通的理解来减少相关伤害。
