GOMES, Sheila Freitas; PENNA, Juliana Coelho Braga de Oliveira y ARROIO, Agnaldo. Scientific Fake News: Perception, Persuasion and Literacy. Ciência educ. [online]. 2020, vol.26, e20018. Epub 18-Jun-2020. ISSN 1980-850X. https://doi.org/10.1590/1516-731320200018.
The fine line separating fact from fiction is increasingly hidden, creating parallel realities that cloud the view of society. The current essay on saramaguian blindness is reintroduced with the aid of the speed of a simple touch on the screen in social media. In this sense, the present article explores the comprehension of which elements influence the credibility of scientific fake news. The main concepts to elucidate this question are perception and persuasion. The study is qualitative in nature, with the participation of 232 subjects through an online questionnaire. The results show that family income, schooling, and the articulation of persuasive discourse are essential elements for the credibility of fake news.
