Iffy-Or-Not: Extending the Web to Support the Critical Evaluation of Fallacious Texts
- 基于论证理论设计三功能：标记谬误、建议追问问题、提出深度讨论题。
- 18人测试显示用户更关注内容，提问与自身思路契合度高。
- 适合想提升信息辨别力的读者，但需注意可能引发抵触情绪。
社交平台评论为观点形成提供了便利，但也充斥未经证实或虚假内容。为提升观点质量并增强对谣言的抵抗力，我们开发了Iffy-Or-Not（ION）浏览器扩展，旨在阅读时触发批判性思维。该工具基于论证理论，具备三项功能：标注谬误内容、建议多样追问问题、提供深度思考与交流话题。一项包含18名用户的使用研究发现，ION促使用户更关注文本内容，所提问题与用户原有思路相符或更优，并拓展了其视角。然而，部分参与者因与自身信息目标和思维倾向不一致而产生抵触。文中还讨论了潜在的反效果。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Social platforms have expanded opportunities for deliberation with the comments being used to inform one's opinion. However, using such information to form opinions is challenged by unsubstantiated or false content. To enhance the quality of opinion formation and potentially confer resistance to misinformation, we developed Iffy-Or-Not (ION), a browser extension that seeks to invoke critical thinking when reading texts. With three features guided by argumentation theory, ION highlights fallacious content, suggests diverse queries to probe them with, and offers deeper questions to consider and chat with others about. From a user study (N=18), we found that ION encourages users to be more attentive to the content, suggests queries that align with or are preferable to their own, and poses thought-provoking questions that expands their perspectives. However, some participants expressed aversion to ION due to misalignments with their information goals and thinking predispositions. Potential backfiring effects with ION are discussed.
