论文摘要
在Covid-19大流行期间,世界卫生组织提供了一份清单,以帮助人们区分准确和错误信息。在美国和德国的受控实验中,我们研究了该订购的清单的实用程序,并设计了一个交互式版本,以降低对清单项目的作用成本。在整个干预措施中,我们观察到参与者在区分两国之间的准确和错误信息方面的表现中存在非平凡的差异,并讨论了一些可能预测清单在不同环境中的未来有帮助性的可能原因。提供源标签的清单项目是最经常遵循的,被认为最有用。根据我们的经验发现,我们建议从业者专注于提供来源标签,而不是支持读者进行自己的事实检查的干预措施,即使该建议可能受到WHO的订单的影响。我们讨论提供此类源标签并提供设计建议的复杂性。
During the COVID-19 pandemic, the World Health Organization provided a checklist to help people distinguish between accurate and misinformation. In controlled experiments in the United States and Germany, we investigated the utility of this ordered checklist and designed an interactive version to lower the cost of acting on checklist items. Across interventions, we observe non-trivial differences in participants' performance in distinguishing accurate and misinformation between the two countries and discuss some possible reasons that may predict the future helpfulness of the checklist in different environments. The checklist item that provides source labels was most frequently followed and was considered most helpful. Based on our empirical findings, we recommend practitioners focus on providing source labels rather than interventions that support readers performing their own fact-checks, even though this recommendation may be influenced by the WHO's chosen order. We discuss the complexity of providing such source labels and provide design recommendations.
