研究虚假新闻可信度影响因素,发现内容立场比作者是人还是AI更关键。

Trust in Disinformation Narratives: a Trust in the News Experiment

  • 设计双国实验,测试800+人对3类假新闻的可信度评分
  • 立场和话题显著影响信任度,而AI生成与否无显著差异
  • 适合关注信息传播、舆论心理与媒体素养的研究者

本研究联合西班牙与英国记者、事实核查员及卡迪夫NLP自然语言处理团队,于2023年6月开展信任新闻实验。针对性别、气候变化、新冠三类已知谣言叙事,向西班牙801名、英国800名参与者展示三篇假新闻,要求其在1(完全不信)至8(完全相信)的量表上评估可信度。文章结合立场(支持、中立、反对)、毒性表达、标题党特征及信息来源等要素,并一半由人类撰写,一半由ChatGPT生成。结果显示,新闻主题、立场、年龄、性别与政治意识形态显著影响信任水平,但作者身份(人或ChatGPT)无显著作用。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Understanding why people trust or distrust one another, institutions, or information is a complex task that has led scholars from various fields of study to employ diverse epistemological and methodological approaches. Despite the challenges, it is generally agreed that the antecedents of trust (and distrust) encompass a multitude of emotional and cognitive factors, including a general disposition to trust and an assessment of trustworthiness factors. In an era marked by increasing political polarization, cultural backlash, widespread disinformation and fake news, and the use of AI software to produce news content, the need to study trust in the news has gained significant traction. This study presents the findings of a trust in the news experiment designed in collaboration with Spanish and UK journalists, fact-checkers, and the CardiffNLP Natural Language Processing research group. The purpose of this experiment, conducted in June 2023, was to examine the extent to which people trust a set of fake news articles based on previously identified disinformation narratives related to gender, climate change, and COVID-19. The online experiment participants (801 in Spain and 800 in the UK) were asked to read three fake news items and rate their level of trust on a scale from 1 (not true) to 8 (true). The pieces used a combination of factors, including stance (favourable, neutral, or against the narrative), presence of toxic expressions, clickbait titles, and sources of information to test which elements influenced people's responses the most. Half of the pieces were produced by humans and the other half by ChatGPT. The results show that the topic of news articles, stance, people's age, gender, and political ideologies significantly affected their levels of trust in the news, while the authorship (humans or ChatGPT) does not have a significant impact.
