“…Google search is one of platform in finding the information, however some information provide by Google search can lead towards lack credibility of information. The information should fulfill the criteria of online information credibility such as trustworthiness, truthfulness, accuracy, completeness, reliability, and currency (Rieh, 2016). This is because without those components, the value of information to use by society is vague.…”

“…The main problem that always by the users when searching for information on the World Wide Web is we don't know the trustworthy of the information that has been accessed from the beginning. The credibility of information is a complicated concept that is often defined concerning multiple constructs, such as trustworthiness, truthfulness, accuracy, completeness, reliability, and currency (e.g., (Rieh, 2016;Rieh, Kim, Yang, & St. Jean, 2010)). There is no one to guide you in the information-seeking process and not to mention counseling and professional guidance.…”

“…Há pesquisadores que discordam de que a confiança tem de um papel importante na obtenção de informações na internet, pois, como afirmam, os usuários de internet estariam cientes da possibilidade de a informação estar errada e são livres na escolha de uso ou descarte dessas informações (Uslaner, 2000;Kini & Choobineh, 1998). Entretanto, pesquisas mais recentes têm colocado a confiança como de suma importância na maneira como as pessoas adquirem informação e a forma como as usam (Kelton, Fleischmann & Wallace, 2008;Verma, Fleischmann & Kotai, 2017;Flanagin & Metzger, 2007;Rieh, 2014 Então, você tem um filho (mãe = antecedente e filho = consequente) (Castilho, 2011;Maritain, 1962;Sternberg & Sternberg, 2016). O tipo Modus Tollens, derivado do latim tollendo tollens, traduzido como tolhendo ou destruindo o condicionado, ou seja, negando "q", tolhida ou destruída está a condição "p".…”

A presente pesquisa teve como objetivo investigar a relação entre raciocínio condicional, confiança e Fake News. Para tanto, foi desenvolvido um formulário por meio do Google Forms, onde os participantes deveriam responder primeiramente dados pessoais, como Sexo, Faixa Etária e Nível e Escolaridade, depois eram lhes apresentados notícias e eles deveriam responder questões acerca da confiança ou desconfiança naquela notícia e escolher um os 12 possíveis argumentos de raciocínio condicional e assim se seguia ao longo de 10 notícias apresentadas. Posteriormente às 10 notícias, os participantes tiveram que responder à uma escala, denominada de Escala de Confiança Generalizada. Os resultados obtidos corroboram a hipótese de que pessoas que apresentam desconfiança sobre informações falsas utilizaram mais o tipo de argumento denominado “Modus Tollens”, argumento condicional negativo que apresenta validade lógica dedutiva. Entretanto, não foi percebido diferença significativa na relação entre confiar ou não na notícia apresentada e na Faixa Etária, o mesmo com o Nível de escolaridade e da Escala de Confiança Generalizada. Portanto, sugere-se novas pesquisas que visam buscar investigar essas relações e também é indicado que se faça replicações da presente pesquisa, com fins de identificar possíveis limitações metodológicas, visto que, a pesquisa é pioneira em buscar relação entre lógica, confiança e Fake News

“…The current state of online information is one of overload – with so many competing sources of varying quality, it becomes difficult for readers to evaluate the credibility and trustworthiness of what they see on in the internet. LIS researchers have been interested in issues of online credibility for quite some time (Fritch & Cromwell, ; Rubin & Liddy, 2006), with recent studies noting a difference in how readers perceive User Generated Content (UGC) and Traditional Media Content (TMC) (Rieh, ). While research suggests that internet users tend to hold TMC in higher regard than UGC (Rieh, ), journalists and editors have called into question whether or not the average internet content consumer can accurately differentiate between the two (Dzieza, 2014).…”

Widespread adoption of internet technologies has changed the way that news is created and consumed. The current online news environment is one that incentivizes speed and spectacle in reporting, at the cost of fact-checking and verification. The line between user generated content and traditional news has also become increasingly blurred. This poster reviews some of the professional and cultural issues surrounding online news and argues for a two-pronged approach inspired by Hemingway's "automatic crap detector" (Manning, 1965) in order to address these problems: a) proactive public engagement by educators, librarians, and information specialists to promote digital literacy practices; b) the development of automated tools and technologies to assist journalists in vetting, verifying, and fact-checking, and to assist news readers by filtering and flagging dubious information.
