SUMMARY:Fake News as a Socio-political-psychological Phenomenon: Evidence f
 rom China
DESCRIPTION:Co-sponsored by the Fairbank Center for Chinese Studies\n\nThe 
 spread of online falsity is one of the most pressing global challenges of 
 the day. It is detrimental to the proper functioning of a society\, becaus
 e it blocks quality information\, erodes social trust\, and breeds group c
 onflicts. It is also a serious concern in China. With hundreds of millions
  of users\, Chinese social media have been awash with unfiltered misinform
 ation. How gullible are people to misinformation on social media? What are
  the factors that may contribute to their patterns of veracity judgment an
 d behavioral tendencies? What are the preventative measures at our disposa
 l we might possibly use as social interventions? This talk is to provide s
 ome initial answers to these questions by presenting results from a set of
  survey experiments on samples of Chinese Internet users. By drawing upon 
 empirical evidence from a non-Western population\, this talk is aimed to s
 hed further light on our understanding of false news.
