We examined the implications of exposure to misinformation about COVID-19 in the United States, South Korea, and Singapore in the early stages of the global pandemic. The online survey results showed that misinformation exposure reduced information insufficiency, which subsequently led to greater information avoidance and heuristic processing, as well as less systematic processing of COVID-19 information. Indirect effects differ by country and were stronger in the U.S. sample than in the Singapore sample. This study highlights negative consequences of misinformation during a global pandemic and addresses possible cultural and situational differences in how people interpret and respond to misinformation.
我们研究了在全球疫情早期阶段，美国、韩国和新加坡民众接触新冠疫情错误信息的影响。在线调查结果显示，接触错误信息减少了信息不足，这随后导致了更多的信息回避和启发式处理，以及对新冠疫情信息的系统性处理减少。间接影响因国家而异，在美国样本中比在新加坡样本中更强。这项研究强调了全球疫情期间错误信息的负面后果，并探讨了人们在解释和应对错误信息时可能存在的文化和情境差异。
