The global study, which analyzed more than 66,000 participants, provides significant insights into the susceptibility of various demographic groups to misinformation. Key findings reveal that different groups have varying levels of susceptibility based on factors such as education, age, political leaning, and career stage.

Generation Z, defined as those born between 1997 and 2012, have shown higher susceptibility in some contexts. However, the impact differs across the population based on beliefs. For example:

  1. Generation Z (non-male): They may have a harder time distinguishing between real and fake news compared to more educated individuals.

  2. Conservative Political Viewpoints: Participants with extreme political views are more likely to be influenced by misinformation and are better at evaluating their ability to spot it than those with moderate views.

  3. Gender and Education Level: Women and those with more education outperformed their counterparts.

The results underscore the importance of tailored strategies to address misinformation, which could inform better policies and educational programs. Dr. Götz’s findings are expected to influence such efforts.
