Motivating voluntary compliance to behavioural restrictions: Self-determination theory–based checklist of principles for COVID-19 and other emergency communications (2021, background): “…although intended to foster compliance, can sometimes actually reduce people’s motivation to engage in the desired behaviour, especially if citizens belief that the recommended behaviours fall within their personal jurisdiction and decision power (Nyhan et al., 2014; Van Petegem et al., 2017).”
The spreading of misinformation online (2016, background): “This issue is controversial, however, because it raises fears that the free circulation of content may be threatened and that the proposed algorithms may not be accurate or effective (10, 11, 31).”
Political Attitudes and the Processing of Misinformation Corrections (2018, result): “This pattern is broadly consistent with previous work by Nyhan and colleagues (Nyhan & Reifler, 2010; Nyhan et al., 2013, 2014; also see Lewandowsky et al., 2005; Prasad et al., 2009).”
Identity and Epistemic Emotions During Knowledge Revision: A Potential Account for the Backfire Effect (2016, background): “…posttest knowledge scores and negative attitudes will be observed for individuals reading a refutation message that conflicts with some salient or valued aspect of their self-concept (described below) (Nyhan & Reifler, 2010, 2015b; Nyhan et al., 2013, 2014) but not when reading an expository text.”
The Effects of Unsubstantiated Claims of Voter Fraud on Confidence in Elections (2021, background): “For instance, fact-checking may help promote accurate beliefs and reduce the scope of misinformation effects (Nyhan and Reifler 2017; Wood and Porter 2019), though the effect of corrections on broader attitudes and behavioral intentions is less clear (Nyhan et al. 2019, 2014).”
Mistrust and misinformation: A two-component, socio-epistemic model of belief in conspiracy theories (2020, background): “…providing factual counterinformation have not been found to be a particularly effective strategy under experimental conditions, especially in terms of increasing actual intentions to vaccinate where there may be a backfire effect (Jolley & Douglas, 2014b; Nyhan et al., 2014; Nyhan & Reifler, 2015).”
Does Counter-Attitudinal Information Cause Backlash? Results from Three Large Survey Experiments (2018, background): “…inspire a research agenda spanning psychology (Kuhn and Lao 1996; Miller et al. 1993), political science (Lau and Redlawsk 2006; Nyhan and Reifler 2010; Redlawsk 2002; Taber and Lodge 2006; Taber et al. 2009), and other fields such as public health (Nyhan et al. 2014; Strickland et al. 2011).”
How Disgust Influences Health Purity Attitudes (2016, result): “Given the difficulty of cognitively overriding disgust (Russell and Giner-Sorolla 2010), our findings may shed some light onto the difficulty of correcting misperceptions about vaccination (Nyhan and Reifler 2014; Nyhan et al. 2014), but further research is needed on the topic.”
