The impact of social inclusion on attitudes towards desinformation: Challenges and solutions : A quantitative study on the relationship between individuals' sense of inclusion and attitude towards disinformation. (English)
Abstract [sv]

Desinformation har genom alla tider varit en del av samhället och har genom historien haft avgörandet betydelse för händelser som utspelat sig. Idag är desinformation ett ytterst aktuellt ämne som genom nyhetsflödets ökande tempo med digitaliseringen, samt AIs förmåga att producera manipulerade bilder är det ett område som är viktigt att studera. Syftet med undersökningen var att undersöka om det fanns någon korrelation mellan den svenska befolkningens känsla av inkludering kopplad till deras attityd mot desinformation. Vidare undersöktes det om det fanns något samband kopplade till intersektionella faktorer som kön och ålder. Undersökningen hade en kvantitativ ansats genom insamlandet av enkäter, som sedan sammanställdes. Resultatet visade att inget samband mellan känslan av inkludering och attityd till desinformation, samt mellan desinformation kopplat till kön eller ålder kunde fastställas. Slutsatsen som kan dras är att bristen på signifikanta resultat kan tillskrivas antingen en missad korrelation som inte fångades i denna studie eller det faktum att desinformation är en så genomgripande samhällsfråga att den ses negativt av de flesta individer, vilket gör det svårt att hitta signifikanta skillnader mellan olika grupper. En separat undersökning fann dock visst samband mellan konspiratoriska övertygelser och individer inom den politiska högern, vilket tyder på ett potentiellt samband mellan politiska ideologier och attityder till desinformation. Ytterligare forskning behövs för att utforska denna aspekt.

Abstract [en]

Disinformation has always been a part of society and throughout history has been decisive for events that unfolded. Today, disinformation is an extremely current topic that, through the increased pace of the news flow with digitization, and AI's ability to produce manipulated images is the most current area to study. The purpose of the survey was to investigate whether there was any correlation between the Swedish population's sense of inclusion linked to their attitude towards desinformation. Furthermore, the paper explored whether there was any relationship linked to intersectional factors such as gender and age. The survey was a quantitative survey through the collection of questionnaires, which were then compiled. The result showed that no relationship between the feeling of inclusion and attitude to disinformation, as well as between disinformation linked to gender or age could be established. The conclusion that can be drawn is that the lack of significant results can be attributed either to a missed correlation that was not captured in this study or to the fact that disinformation is such a pervasive societal issue that it is viewed negatively by most individuals, making it difficult to find significant differences between different groups. However, a separate survey found some association between conspiratorial beliefs and individuals on the political right, suggesting a potential link between political ideologies and attitudes toward disinformation. Further research is needed to explore this aspect.
