Ep 29: Why do people share false information — and what can we do about it?

PsychCrunch

PsychCrunch is the podcast from the British Psychological Society's Research Digest. Each episode we explore whether the findings from psychological science can make a difference in real life. Just how should we live, according to psychology? We speak to psychologists about their research and whether they apply what they've discovered in their own lives.

Why do people share false information? In this episode, our presenters <a href= "https://www.ginnysmithscience.com/">Ginny Smith</a> and Jon Sutton explore the psychology of misinformation. They hear about the factors that make people more or less likely to share misinformation, discuss strategies to correct false information, and learn how to talk to someone who is promoting conspiracy theories.   Our guests, in order of appearance, are <a href= "https://www.westminster.ac.uk/about-us/our-people/directory/buchanan-tom"> Tom Buchanan</a>, Professor of Psychology at the University of Westminster, and <a href="https://brionyswire.com/">Briony Swire-Thompson</a>, senior research scientist at Northeastern University’s Network Science Institute.
