"What does health misinformation look like, and what is its impact? We conducted a systematic review of 45 articles containing 64 randomized controlled trials (RCTs; N = 37,552) on the impact of health misinformation on behaviors and their psychological antecedents. We applied a planetary health per

spective by framing environmental issues as human health issues and focusing on misinformation about diseases, vaccination, medication, nutrition, tobacco consumption, and climate change. We found that in 49% of the cases exposure to health misinformation damaged the psychological antecedents of behaviors such as knowledge, attitudes, or behavioral intentions. No RCTs evaluated the impact of exposure to misinformation on direct measures of health or pro-environmental behaviors (e.g., vaccination), and few studies explored the impact of misinformation on feelings, social norms, and trust. Most misinformation was based on logical fallacies, conspiracy theories, or fake experts. RCTs evaluating the impact of impossible expectations and cherry-picking are scarce. Most research focused on healthy adult US populations and used online samples. Future RCTs can build on our analysis and address the knowledge gaps we identified." (Abstract)

aware of them, why they compel us to certain actions, and whether we can change our convictions when presented with opposing evidence, which prove our personal convictions "wrong". Scholars from philosophy, psychology, comparative literature, media studies, applied linguistics, intercultural communication, and education shed light on the topic of personal conviction, crossing disciplinary boundaries and asking questions not only of importance to scholars but also related to the role and possible impact of conviction in the public sphere, education, and in political and cultural discourse. By taking a critical look at personal conviction as an element of inquiry within the humanities and social sciences, this book will contribute substantially to the study of conviction as an aspect of the self we all carry within us and are called upon to examine."

"Against the background of the media commercialization reform since the 1990s in China and drawing on the case of »X-Change« (2006-2019), Wei Dong investigates the entanglements between emotion and subjectivity, ideology, identity and hegemonic power in the multimodal text of the program. The focu

cebook. To understand processes of self-making on TikTok, we undertake two methods of data collection: a walkthrough of the app and its surrounding environment, and 14 semistructured participant interviews. A qualitative analysis of this data finds three distinct themes emerge: (1) awareness of the algorithm, (2) content without context, and (3) self-creation across platforms. These results show that TikTok departs from existing platforms in the model of self-making it engenders, which we term “the algorithmized self”—a complication of the preexisting “networked self” framework."

utzbaren Einblicke in unsere Vorlieben, Sehnsüchte oder Ängste gewinnen sie aus unseren Daten, oft, ohne dass uns das bewusst wäre, und wie geschieht das? Christian Montag forscht an der Schnittstelle zwischen Psychologie und Informatik. Anschaulich zeigt er, mit welchen Mitteln Social Media tief im Menschsein verankerte Bedürfnisse – nach Anerkennung, Bestätigung, Zugehörigkeit – für ihre Zwecke instrumentalisieren und warum diese Rechnung bei so vielen von uns aufgeht. Montag verurteilt die Strategien der Tech-Konzerne nicht pauschal und beleuchtet auch hilfreiche Einsatzmöglichkeiten. Es geht ihm um ein Bewusstsein für die potenziell gefährliche Macht der Internet-Plattformen, die sie mit ihrer dominanten Rolle sowohl im Alltagsleben der Einzelnen als auch in gesellschaftlich-politischer Hinsicht erlangt haben."

Die empirische Reichweite des Konzepts wird anhand der Befunde einer qualitativen Panelstudie veranschaulicht. Es wird gezeigt, inwiefern alltagsspezifische Antriebfaktoren, wie veränderte Zeitressourcen (zeitlich), neue Tätigkeitsfelder (inhaltlich), Veränderungen in der Arbeitsteilung (sozial) oder emotionale Krisen (emotional), Dynamik im Medienrepertoire anstoßen und welche Faktoren für die Rezipierenden relevant sind, wenn sie ihre mediatisierte Lebensführung innerhalb der neuen Lebenssituation neu aushandeln."

sinformation. However, one of the root causes – strategies in such misinformation that may persuade the readers – is rarely studied. This systematic review aimed to fill this gap. We searched Web of Science, Scopus, PsycINFO, and Communication and Mass Media Complete for studies published between 2011 and 2021 on 29 May 2021. Peer-reviewed studies that discussed persuasive strategies in online misinformation messages were included. Of 1,700 articles identified, 58 were eligible and 258 persuasive strategies were extracted. Following the affinity diagraming process, 225 persuasive strategies in online health misinformation were categorized into 12 thematic groups, including: fabricating narrative with details, using anecdotes and personal experience as evidence, distrusting government or pharmaceutical companies, politicizing health issues, highlighting uncertainty and risk, inappropriate use of scientific evidence, rhetorical tricks, biased reasoning to make a conclusion, emotional appeals, distinctive linguistic features, and establishing legitimacy. Possible antecedents for why and how these persuasive strategies in online health misinformation may influence individuals were discussed. The findings suggest that media literacy education is essential for the public to combat health misinformation." (Abstract)

Esta realidade é apresentada no vol. 6 da Coleção de Teorias da Comunicação, que nos traz textos sobre investigações nas áreas da comunicação e o jornalismo, sobre tudo as menos difundidas, mas também pesquisas empíricas que tentam aplicar essas teorias em objetos mais concretos de investigação.
