SUMMARY:CPG: Je Hoon Chae (UCLA\, Communication)
DESCRIPTION:Title:Robust Persuasive Effect of Political Fact-Checking and Remaining Challenges \nAbstract:The proliferation of misinformation and the persistent gap in factual information among partisans represent significant concerns in contemporary U.S. politics. Fact-checking\, a journalistic intervention aimed at verifying the accuracy of claims and information\, is seen as a key strategy to address this issue. While early studies suggested a backfire effect\, where strong partisans reinforce their existing beliefs when presented with counter-attitudinal corrections from fact-checkers\, recent experimental evidence suggests this backfire effect is not replicable. Instead\, fact-checking effectively updates the factual beliefs of even staunch partisans in line with fact-checked information. This presentation addresses two critical questions. First\, to what extent is the persuasive effect of fact-checking effective across various scenarios? Through a series of randomized experimental designs\, I demonstrate that the persuasive effect of fact-checking remains robust even when presented by an out-group source\, when the credibility of fact-checkers is impaired\, or when headlines are automatically tagged on social media posts. Second\, how extensively do U.S. partisans consume fact-checking content\, particularly cross-cutting fact-checking? By analyzing original articles from PolitiFact\, their Twitter posts\, and retweet patterns\, I show that a disproportionate number of fact-checking articles written by PolitiFact\, a major political fact-checking organization\, are counter-attitudinal from the Republican standpoint. Furthermore\, the sharing patterns of these fact-checking posts suggest that Republicans or conservatives rarely share such content amongst themselves\, casting doubt on their exposure to cross-cutting fact-checking in their daily lives.
