ImpactHigh impact

Abstract in brief
Relying on emotion, rather than reason, increases the likelihood of believing fake news, as shown by studies that measure both naturally occurring emotions and experimentally induced reliance on emotion.
Heightened emotionality at the start of the study predicted greater belief in fake news, and manipulating reliance on emotion led to increased belief in fake news stories, highlighting the specific role of emotional processing in susceptibility.
The research suggests that emotional responses can make people more vulnerable to fake news, indicating that combating misinformation might require addressing emotional factors along with rational thinking.]
What role does emotion play in believing false news? Excited to share a new paper out now in Cognitive Research: Principles and Implications (w/ co-authors @GordPennycook & @DG_Rand). A thread.

If people are aware that a specific content is aiming to trigger a reaction through less cognitive load and higher appealing to emotions, they will be less likely to share it.
