“…Un studiu despre comportamentul digital al românilor, publicat în 2018, arată modul în care aceştia subestimează puterea ştirilor false şi a informațiilor inexacte. Peste 50% dintre respondenți au declarat că opiniile lor sunt într-un grad mic sau mediu influențat de informații inexacte, însă rata ridicată a celor care nu au răspuns acestei întrebări (18%) duce la concluzia că problema modului în care încrederea față de ştiri modelează opiniile şi acțiunile nu este deloc luată în considerare de mulți români (Bârgăoanu, Radu, 2018). Principalele şi cele mai eficiente metode de contraatac sunt conştientizarea şi educația.…”

"To date, the potential for addressing hybrid threats through a strong security culture remains underdeveloped, while the nation-wide responses are still lacking clarity and comprehensiveness. The present paper presents the link between a wide range of emerging threats that are currently challenging countries and institutions and the potential of mitigating such issues through security culture while building and consolidating a resilient national system. Continuously under the threshold of formally declaring warfare, hybrid threats have been demonstrating the futility of responses implicating only institutions with responsibilities in the fields of security and defence. Subsequently, we argue that cultivating measures, procedures and good practices for boosting security culture through a whole-of-government approach would ensure a useful framework for tackling such challenges, while also aiming for a joint civilian-military response. The hybrid toolbox needs to be pre-empted by active and passive measures, the ability of societies and institutions to bounce back from shocks being sustained by both resilience and robust measures that would enhance civil and military preparedness. By assessing the rise of hybrid threats and their position in the Russian strategic thinking and comparing the Western doctrines mirroring these challenges, we obtain an overview on the differences in concept and operations that are currently lacking clarity. Considering that national vulnerabilities have now global implications, sovereign action must be effectively completed by alliances and partnerships, while also keeping in mind the made-to-measure hybrid actions with specific and narrow targets. Through examining the components of hybrid and information warfare, we stress the fact that it is high time to have and use a unified vocabulary in support of building a common security culture, necessary for this ever-changing security landscape."

“…By promoting country specific themes (e.g., “national superiority”, “religious purity”) distributed mainly through social media, the malicious content affects individuals' cognitive processes and gradually stirs them in the direction of systematic doubt and mistrust. Available data suggest low levels of resilience to disinformation in the region (Bârgăoanu & Radu, 2018; Chyzhova, 2018; Havlíček & Yeliseyeu, 2021), a vulnerability with direct implications for societal cohesion.…”

Assessing the truthfulness of security and defence news in Central and Eastern Europe: The role of cognitive style and the promise of epistemic sophistication

In this study, we sought to determine whether findings associating cognitive style with news evaluation can be generalized within a Central and Eastern European (CEE) context. We examined the relevance of actively open‐minded thinking, need for cognition, analyticity, and dogmatism in determining the truthfulness of security and defence news headlines. Drawing from a sample of 500 participants from Bulgaria, Poland, Romania, and Slovakia, our results align closely with effect sizes documented in mainstream literature concerning belief in fake news (BFN). In contrast, none of the tested cognitive style measures predicted belief in real news (BRN), and the cognitive reflection test yielded no usable results. The study also explored the utility of a new measure: epistemic sophistication. Our findings were moderately promising for the multiplicism subscale in predicting both BFN and BRN.

“…Por otra parte, existe abundante investigación que ha prestado atención a los efectos de factores como la edad, la ideología o el nivel educativo en la propensión a creer o compartir un contenido falso (ej., Allcott y Gentzkow, 2017;Allcott et al, 2019;Bârgăoanu y Radu, 2018;Guess et al, 2019;Guess et al, 2021;Van Duyn y Collier, 2018). Sin embargo, no se ha cuestionado de manera específica qué factores aumentan la presencia percibida y experimentada de desinformación.…”

Mentiras, prejuicios y rechazo. El uso de la desinformación para propagar discursos de odio contra personas migrantes y refugiadas en redes sociales: un estudio articulado del caso español Lies, Prejudice and Rejection. The Use of Disinformation to Spread Hate Speech against Migrants and Refugees in Social Media: A Comprehensive Study about the Spanish Case 17 frequently cited report from Gartner Group (2017) mentioned, perhaps simplistically, that by 2022 the Western public would consume more false information than true information and that there would not be enough capacity to counteract it. The year in question has arrived and, although measurement is still impossible, it seems that reality has not met the most alarmist forecasts. The problem, however, is real and its seriousness is beyond doubt, as demonstrated, for example, during the COVID-19 pandemic.Already in February 2020, before the official declaration of COVID-19 as a pandemic, the World Health Organization (WHO) drew attention to the need to combat the 'infodemic', understanding as such an overabundance of information -partly true and partly not-, which made it more difficult for people to find reliable information when they needed it and which posed an additional risk to the spread of the disease (OMS, 2020). Along the same lines, the Director General of the WHO, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, affirmed that "[w]e are not only fighting against an epidemic; we are fighting an infodemic. Fake news spreads faster than the virus and is just as dangerous" (Ghebreyesus, 2020).Although the WHO, the media and a large part of academia have frequently used the term 'infodemic', many studies have focused on one of its specific aspects, disinformation (Bechmann, 2020), since the hoaxes and rumors about vaccines, treatments and the spread of the virus have not been limited to a problem of communication and public trust, but have had a direct effect on health and were even responsible for deaths (Islam, Sarkar et al., 2020).
