COVID-19-related information seeking and individual's rumor refuting: A multi-information-source perspective

Xuedong Liang et al.

Summary: Existing literature on social media rumors has mainly focused on their sharing, neglecting studies on rumor refutation. This study proposes a dual-pathway model to examine the impact of different information sources on online rumor refutation. The findings suggest that individuals' health self-efficacy and infection risk perception mediate the relationship between seeking COVID-19-related information and rumor refutation, while peer condition and peer communication moderate these paths.
