The COVID-19 pandemic has sparked an infodemic, characterized by the rapid and widespread dissemination of false, misleading, or inaccurate information about the disease and its consequences. This book, focusing on four Asian societies, aims to compare and analyze the spread of COVID-19 misinformation and its broad impacts on the public in Beijing, Hong Kong, Taipei, and Singapore. By providing a comprehensive overview of misinformation and conducting cross-societal analyses of patterns, the book delves into the prevalence of COVID-19 misinformation and explores its consequences within an Asian context.
The book sheds light on several key questions:
What types of infodemic messages circulate widely on popular social media platforms?
What factors account for exposure to and engagement with debunked yet popular COVID-19 misinformation?
How does exposure to widely circulated COVID-19 misinformation affect peoples beliefs, attitudes, and adoption of preventive measures to cope with the pandemic?
How do macro social differences condition the diffusion and impacts of COVID-19 misinformation?
What intervention strategies can counter the misinformation?
This book offers scientific insights and empirical findings on the pressing issues surrounding infodemic, making it of great interest to students and researchers in communication studies, political science, public health, crisis communication, and Asian Studies. It also serves as a valuable resource for policymakers and practitioners seeking to acquire cutting-edge, evidence-based knowledge about combating misinformation during a global pandemic.
