Abstract

Scholars and practitioners have devoted to correcting misinformation using various strategies. However, the effectiveness of corrective strategies was mixed. Since social media has made misinformation a worse problem, using social media to correct misinformation has great value. This study examines the effectiveness of correcting misinformation across social media platforms under the topic of vaccination. The results showed that participants exposed to corrective messages across social media platforms have more positive attitudes toward corrective messages and higher vaccination certainty than those exposed to the same messages on a single social media platform. The results suggested that cross-platform correction is a promising technique for combatting misinformation. The findings contribute to both social media studies and misinformation correction.
