Keywords: | DRNTU::Social sciences::Communication::Communication theories and models | Issue Date: | 2019 | Abstract: | This study uses the framework of Social Judgement Theory (SJT) to understand how attitudes affect belief in fake news and corrections. The study revealed that the SJT concepts of ego-involvement, discrepancy and correction ambiguity predict belief in a correction, and belief in a correction subsequently predicts a decrease in fake news belief. Hence, this study has uncovered the ideal conditions for designing and targeting effective corrections to decrease fake news belief. | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/10356/76580 | Schools: | Wee Kim Wee School of Communication and Information | Rights: | Nanyang Technological University | Fulltext Permission: | restricted | Fulltext Availability: | With Fulltext |
