Resumen
Con el objetivo de ampliar la creciente literatura sobre desinformación a un contexto diferente al de los países desarrollados, este artículo busca respuestas a preguntas como: ¿qué tipo de personas son más susceptibles a la desinformación? ¿Qué determinaría tal vulnerabilidad? Esta investigación utiliza una muestra de votantes brasileños entrevistados entre mayo y junio de 2019, y encuentra que las preferencias de partido por sí solas no explican la susceptibilidad a la desinformación. El efecto de las preferencias partidarias sobre la propensión a la desinformación está moderado por la capacidad analítica, la necesidad de cognición y el conocimiento político. Las personas con altos niveles de estos atributos tienden a ser más capaces de evaluar la información a través de la lente de sus creencias políticas. Los hallazgos también sugieren que las personas que más confían en el periodismo profesional pueden ser menos propensas a la desinformación.
