Workshop: Developing Approaches to the Study of Information - Washington, D.C. April 2018

这个研讨会汇集了研究政治信息的不同方法，以及政治分歧各方的党派人士使用政治信息的方式。这将通过汇集来自通信、政治学、社会心理学等各个领域的专家来完成。这些专家从不同的方法和理论角度讨论了这一主题的许多不同方面。具体来说，他们将讨论哪些因素驱动政治动机的看法？纠正错误信息的效果如何？讲习班将通过汇集以不同方式处理这些问题的不同学科/分学科的专家来解决这些问题。研讨会的目标是组织知识变革，澄清该领域的现状，确定剩余问题的优先级，并制定一个协作和有效的研究议程。重点将是区分影响政治信息解释的因果路径，记录其后果，以及更有效地处理错误信息的评估方法。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

This workshop brings together different approaches to studying political information and the way it is used by partisans on all sides of the political divide. This will be done by bringing together experts from various fields such as Communications, Political Science, Social Psychology, etc. These experts have addressed a number of different aspects of this topic from a variety of methodological and theoretical points of view. Specifically, they will address what factors drive politically motivated perceptions? How effective are correctives to misinformation? The workshop would address these questions by bringing together experts from different disciplines/sub-disciplines who have addressed these questions in different ways.The objectives of the workshop are to structure intellectual change, clarify the state of the field, prioritize remaining questions, and chart a collaborative and efficient research agenda going forward. The focus will be on distinguishing causal paths that impact the interpretations of political information, document its consequences, and evaluative ways to deal more efficiently with misinformation.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
