Dear members and friends of the VCEE,

10:30 to 12:00 hrs Vienna time. 

The seminar takes place in lecture hall 17 (2nd floor) at
Oskar-Morgenstern-Platz 1.

We will have one speaker: Duarte Goncalves (University College London)

Here is more information about the talk:

Title: Retractions: Updating from Complex Information (joint with Jonathan
Libgober and Jack Willis)

 

Abstract:

We modify a canonical experimental design to identify the effectiveness of
retractions. Comparing beliefs after retractions to beliefs (a) without the
retracted information and (b) after equivalent new information, we find that
retractions result in diminished belief updating in both cases. We propose
this reflects updating from retractions being more complex, and our analysis
supports this: we find longer response times, lower accuracy, and higher
variability. The results-robust across diverse subject groups and design
variations-enhance our understanding of belief updating and offer insights
into addressing misinformation.

 

If you are interested in meeting after the seminar (meeting slots of 30')
