Dealing with misinformation is important in many areas of daily life, including politics, the marketplace, health communication, journalism, education, and science. In a general climate where facts and misinformation blur, and are intentionally blurred, this book asks what determines whether people accept and share (mis)information, and what can be done to counter misinformation? All three of these aspects need to be understood in the context of online social networks, which have fundamentally changed the way information is produced, consumed, and transmitted. The contributions within this volume summarize the most up-to-date empirical findings, theories, and applications and discuss cutting-edge ideas and future directions of interventions to counter fake news. Also providing guidance on how to handle misinformation in an age of "alternative facts", this is a fascinating and vital reading for students and academics in psychology, communication, and political science and for professionals including policy makers and journalists. 517 $aPsychology of Fake News 606 $aFake news 606 $aDisinformation 606 $aJournalism$xPsychological aspects 615 0$aFake news. 615 0$aDisinformation. 615 0$aJournalism$xPsychological aspects. 676 $a070.43 702 $aGreifeneder$b Rainer 801 0$bNjHacI 801 1$bNjHacl 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910476837803321 996 $aThe psychology of fake news$92996574 997 $aUNINA
