   "Understanding and combatting #misinformation across 16 countries on six continents" out today in Nature Human Behavior! There have been a huge number of msinfo-related studies in the past 5 or so years, but almost all of them have been US/Western populations. So here we examined the #psychology of #misinformation, and the effectiveness of various #interventions, across 16 countries (total N=34k).

   We find:
   ➤Consistent #cognitive, #social & #ideological predictors of misinfo belief across countries
   ➤Interventions (accuracy prompts, digital literacy tips, using crowdsourcing to identify misinfo) are all broadly effective across countries

   Give it a read and let me know what you think! https://rdcu.be/dfGtT
