信念回聲主張事實查核報導並非完全無效,當候選人受到負面假新聞攻 擊時,事實查核報導雖無法讓候選人聲勢回溫至被攻擊前,但依然能做出有 效更正。本研究發現,當閱聽人與候選人政黨傾向一致,且暴露於負面假新 聞所產生的認知失諧程度愈強烈、認為新聞可信度愈低時,其接受後續正面 新聞 ( 一般選舉新聞或事實查核報導 ) 的程度就愈大。此外,本研究也發現, 事實查核報導對於政黨傾向不一致的選民,同樣具有更正效力。

關鍵詞:可信度、事實查核、信念回聲、負面攻擊、假新聞、認知失諧

In addition, the results also found that fact-checking would be effective when party tend to be inconsistent.
