Description
This study examined whether accuracy nudges and content veracity labels enhance people’s discernment in believing and sharing true versus
false news. Participants in the United Kingdom, the United States, and Hong Kong were shown five true and five false social media posts in random order. Two true posts and two false posts were randomly assigned “True” and “False” labels, respectively. Multilevel regression models
indicated that accuracy nudges and veracity labels had no direct effects on the perceived accuracy of posts or willingness to share them, though
the interaction of the “False” label and accuracy nudge significantly reduced the perceived accuracy of and intention to share false news across
the samples. Post hoc analyses further uncovered contingent effects based on individual differences, including partisan identity in the United
States and conspiratorial thinking in the United Kingdom and Hong Kong. The findings demonstrate the efficacy of combined countermeasures
in attenuating the effects of misinformation.
