Antino Kim, Patricia L. Moravec, & Alan R. Dennis (2023). When do details
matter? News source evaluation summaries and details against misinformation
on social media. International Journal of Information Management, 72,
102666. *DOI: *https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijinfomgt.2023.102666

*Highlights*
• News source evaluations based on fact-checking can help curb fake news.
• Our online experiments tested the effects of source evaluation icons and
details.
• Negative icons reduced article believability; the details had no added
effect.
• Positive icons had no impact, but the added details increased
believability.
• Users viewed the details more for agreeable articles; icon valence had no
effect.

*Abstract:*
News source evaluations based on fact-checking can help curb the
consumption and spread of fake news on social media. Prior research has
primarily considered source evaluations with intuitive icons that indicate
whether or not news sources are reputable. But can we increase the power of
these icons by adding more detailed information about the evaluation that
explains the reasons for the icon? What additional benefit would such
evaluation details bring? Would they have the same effect for both positive
and negative evaluations? We conducted two online experiments to understand
the effects of a source evaluation icon (a positive or negative summary of
the evaluation) and more detailed evaluation information explaining the
reasons for the icon. Our results show an asymmetric effect of positive and
negative icons and details. Negative icons reduced the believability of the
articles, but adding evaluation details supporting the icon had no
additional effect. In contrast, positive icons had no significant effects,
but adding evaluation details significantly increased believability. We
also found that users were more likely to view the evaluation details when
the content of the article aligned with their pre-existing opinions, but
the valence of the icon (positive or negative) did not affect this decision.
