Description
Summary:This paper quantifies and compares the effects of the two main styles of educational infographics as interventions to mis/disinformation attacks; First, the American Library Association's CRAAP test, and second, Preemptive Debunks, a.k.a prebunking. The results suggest that CRAAP results in greater detection accuracy (DV1) over prebunking but prebunking results in faster assessment times (DV2) over CRAAP. Their effects, however, as exhibited in the experimental simulations, proved to be very trivial when referenced with the control group. This paper recommends prebunking over CRAAP when immediate, time-sensitive accurate information sharing is required to be disseminated to the public, such as during wars, emergencies, and pandemics. This paper hopes to reach technology policy experts, digital forensic officers, communication academics, and policymakers that may find this area of cyber deception to their interest.
