New editorial! 📷 Digital platforms and political polarization, environmental crises and media trust, smartphones and mental health: Research in media psychology addresses some of the most pressing societal issues and can give answers in complicated times like these.

And we had productive discussions with grad students and crafted plans for future research and further collaboration between UCatolica @fcomuc and RPTU @rptu_kl_ld Muchas gracias y hasta pronto 🙌

Thanks for leading the effort, Stephan. For a thread on key findings, read:

Preprint available: A thorough and detailed study unpacking risk and protective factors to discern misinformation from factual information. Great work with a great team @MediaInvierno @SebaValenz and @TobiasRothmund

@aarosenberg Muchas gracias, Andrés! Our first Chilean-German co-production 😃

@MediaInvierno This is awesome Stephan. Congrats on the paper #mustread

New Preprint: “(Don’t) Stop Believing” Are conservatives more vulnerable to #misinformation, even if the supply side was more equal? Our new study suggests: Bias occurs on both sides – but in different forms. osf.io/84c36

Thanks to all co-authors 🇨🇱🇩🇪: @SebaValenz @celoo @TobiasRothmund & Lena Iwertowski Tobias Schreyer @rptu_kl_ld. All materials and data can be found here: osf.io/q79p6/?view_on…

Overall, patterns, which should be re-tested in further settings, might explain different vulnerabilities across the political spectrum. Also supports the call for using signal detection measures instead of belief in false info, as argued by Batailler et al. and @BrianMGuay
