Mitigating online COVID misinformation costs: From individual to field interventions
Principal Investigator(s): Giovanni Luca Ciampaglia
Funders: Social Science Research Council Other
Research Areas: Data Science, Analytics, and Visualization Social Networks, Online Communities, and Social Media
This project will conduct one of the most systematic tests to date of the welfare effects of altering information environments by decreasing exposure to untrustworthy sources. Researchers will encourage social media users to change the composition of the accounts they follow and measure the effect of this intervention on real-world behavior. This design will provide a building block for future research on the effects of online information exposure on offline behavior.
