Fake News and Post-Truth Impacts: Responses to Conflictive Uncertainty

假新闻和后真相的归属是相互冲突的信息引起的不确定性的症状。关于人类对冲突不确定性的反应，除了人们觉得它令人厌恶之外，我们知之甚少。该项目旨在确定人类对冲突不确定性的态度的决定因素。这些目标将通过发展对冲突性不确定性的态度测量，以及确定其主要影响的研究来实现。预期结果包括在冲突不确定性态度如何与风险取向、个性和情景因素相关的知识方面取得进展。预期的好处包括为决策者和面临相互冲突的不确定性的传播者改进战略。

Attributions of fake news and post-truth are symptoms of uncertainty arising from conflicting information. Little is known about human responses to conflictive uncertainty other than that people find it aversive. This project aims to identify the determinants of human attitudes towards conflictive uncertainty. The aims will be achieved via the development of measures of attitudes toward conflictive uncertainty, and studies identifying the major influences thereof. Expected outcomes include advances in knowledge of how conflictive uncertainty attitudes relate to risk orientations, personality, and situational factors. Anticipated benefits include improved strategies for decision makers and communicators faced with conflictive uncertainty.
