The spread of misinformation poses a considerable threat to public health and the successful management of a global pandemic. For example, studies find that exposure to misinformation can undermine vaccination uptake and compliance with public-health guidelines. As research on the science of misinformation is rapidly emerging, this conceptual Review summarizes what we know along three key dimensions of the infodemic: susceptibility, spread, and immunization. Extant research is evaluated on the questions of why (some) people are (more) susceptible to misinformation, how misinformation spreads in online social networks, and which interventions can help to boost psychological immunity to misinformation. Implications for managing the infodemic are discussed.
错误信息的传播对公众健康以及全球大流行的成功应对构成了相当大的威胁。例如，研究发现，接触错误信息会破坏疫苗接种率以及对公共卫生指南的遵守情况。随着关于错误信息科学的研究迅速涌现，这篇概念性综述总结了我们在信息疫情的三个关键维度上所了解的情况：易感性、传播和免疫。本文对现有研究在以下问题上进行了评估：为什么（某些）人（更）容易受到错误信息的影响，错误信息如何在在线社交网络中传播，以及哪些干预措施有助于增强对错误信息的心理论免疫。文中还讨论了应对信息疫情的相关影响因素。
