Excited to have appeared on the #HappinessLabPod, from @PushkinPods, talking to Dr.@LaurieSantos about how other people's emotions can make us feel happier, and how social media complicates this. Listen at

We also found that people were less likely to arrive at misinformation websites via Facebook and webmail.

Turns out asking people if they're addicted to social media first can influence how they report their well-being second. Order matters.

Despite an overall reduction in exposure and engagement from 2016 to 2020, older adults and those with conservative media diets remained the most likely to be exposed to misinformation.

Building on work from @andyguess @BrendanNyhan @JasonReifler on the 2016 election, we collected mobile and desktop web browsing data and combined it with a list of misinformation websites from the 2016 paper and @NewsGuardRating to identify misinformation exposures.

Great NYT piece on how older folks are targeted by disinformation, and some courses that can be useful for improving one's digital literacy.

@Sacha_Altay Thanks Sacha. Your study is great, and yes while slightly different we agree on the higher level takeaway of the prevalence of misinformation.

looks like emoji's aren't the cure for the "emotion gap" of text. i still think words work pretty well.

I'm often asked about how tell if something is real or fake on social media. @dfreelon pointed this thread out to me, with some great advice and resources.
how do you determine if a source is “credible?” well, it's an incredibly complex question. you need to understand the outlet and author's track record, their editorial process, associations, funding, audiences (market), critiques, and the influence of their work, for starters.

@bowmanspartan @MasurPhil @meganrfrench Let's talk Nick. And to be clear our meta-analysis shows the same positive direction (more social media use, more depression). We had reverse-coded for negative well-being. Very glad to see we're getting the same direction (though our effect remains pretty small) @sunnyliu2005.

@ZuercherJohn nice point. I hadn't thought of that. Clark's overall point, though, is that language in typically developing kids is natural so long as they interact with adults speaking language. Compare that to how long it takes to learn to read and write!.

@stats_tipton @chrisjb1 Fantastic thread @stats_tipton. Really appreciated your take not only on these two MAs but also best practices, especially on figuring out heterogeneity. Major issue on social media effects too.

@Comm1Class I actually thought it would be lower! Makes me wonder what is "high" and what is "low" for lying rates.

@tdienlin @GerineLodder @niclas_kuper @OrbenAmy @BueckerSusanne @PNASNews @mscharkow Couldn’t agree more on both points. I think most of our field has missed the content/context in assessing use.

@stanny_hhoang Most important is understanding the elements of each study, and not trying to figure out how they are related. So don't worry about that, instead focus on knowing the 3 perspectives from Ho, Miner & Hancock, the key findings from Burke & Kraut, and the idea/model from Verduyn.

@KobiHackenburg @jayvanbavel @GaryMarcus @mer__edith @random_walker @emollick @Miles_Brundage Wow, great paper Kobi! We'll discuss in our lab meeting this week. I was surprised that the microtargeting didn't work (the general persuasiveness did not - it's really good at it)! Curious to dig in and learn more. Congrats on this work.

@jayvanbavel Great point and question @jayvanbavel - we'd consider that misinformation that happened primarily after the election, no not part of our study.

@scong121 Walther would say, and argued in class, that no idealization is not about being less authentic, just part of online dynamics.
