Project description:
The project goal is to understand the interplay between cognitive conflict and political polarization. Misinformation poses a significant threat to managing global challenges such as COVID-19, climate change, and immigration.

Prior research shows that individuals with conservative and far-right ideology are more likely to share misinformation on social media and more resistant to fact-checks, than moderates or liberals (Grinberg et al., In addition, past studies have reported that in comparison to liberals, conservatives exhibit lower scores in cognitive flexibility (the ability to incorporate new information into behavioural sequences) and reduced neural markers of cognitive conflict during executive tasks (Amodio et al., This leads to the hypothesis that cognitive (in)flexibility is a relevant predictor of misinformation sharing on social media.

We propose to address precisely this hypothesis.

WE aim at testing this hypothesis using neuroimaging (EEG) and behavioural measures of reactions to cognitive conflict, as well as in-the-wild analysis of social media data.

Prepare experimental materials for performing experiments.

Collect behavioural and electrophysiological data.

Pre-processing electrophysiological data.

Maintenance of group's web and social media.


The position is linked to the data collection and pre-processing phase of the subproject "Is cognitive inflexibility a predictor of misinformation sharing on social media?" of the María de Maeztu Strategic Research Program on Artificial and Natural Intelligence.

The duration of these tasks is estimated for a period of 20 months.
