Abstract Increasing misinformation spread, including news about COVID-19, poses a threat to older adults but there is little empirical research on this population within the fake news literature. Embedded in the Changes in Integration for Social Decisions in Aging (CISDA) model, this study examined the role of (i) analytical reasoning; (ii) affect; and (iii) news consumption frequency, and their interplay with (iv) news content, in determining fake news detection in aging during the COVID-19 pandemic. Young (age range 18-35 years, M = 20.24, SD = 1.88) and older (age range 61-87 years, M = 70.51, SD = 5.88) adults were randomly assigned to view COVID or non-COVID news articles, followed by measures of analytical reasoning, affect, and news consumption frequency. Comparable across young and older adults, fake news detection accuracy was higher for news unrelated to COVID, and non-COVID fake news detection was predicted by individual differences in analytic reasoning. Examination of chronological age effects further revealed that detection of fake news among older adults aged over 70 years depended on interactions between individual CISDA components and news content. Collectively, these findings suggest that age-related susceptibility to fake news may only be apparent in later stages of older adulthood, but vulnerabilities are context dependent. Our findings advance understanding of psychological mechanisms in fake news evaluation and empirically support CISDA in its application to fake news detection in aging.

Working Out

David Joselit argues that although the politicization of information and fake news is nothing new—facts, after all, have always been ratified by power, and standards of evidence are historically specific—the mode of its authentication is now in crisis. He describes this condition as a state of cognitive conflict in which different species of knowledge battle one another for pre-eminence, rather than reach for an agonistic but productive political translation or negotiation. Adopting the concept of cognitive justice as theorized by Boaventura de Sousa Santos, Joselit proposes that under Trumpism art can be a resource for working out a politicized and materialized, even formal, theory of information. By tracking the plasticity of information—the shapes it assumes through circulation, shifts in scale and saturation, and its velocities and frictions—which is deeply enmeshed in relations of power, post-Conceptual art can have real purchase on cognitive justice.

Eine Hausärztin, die, statt ein Physio-Rezept auszustellen, auf Übungen aus der Apotheken Umschau verweist? Unmöglich, sollte man meinen. Doch Physiotherapeutin Ulrike Maier belehrt eines Besseren. Ihre unwissende Hausärztin von nebenan liefert ihren Patienten gerne mal „alternative Fakten“ und hat bei ihren physiotherapeutischen Kenntnissen noch dringend Nachholbedarf.

Fake News

Éste trabajo parte de una información compartida por muchos investigadores. La comprensión de la desinformación como un fenómeno que va mucho más allá del término “noticias falsas”. Estos términos han sido apropiados y usados engañosamente por poderosos actores para desestimar y poner en entredicho la cobertura informativa que ya atraviesa momentos críticos sobre la credibilidad.
