On today's episode, renowned behavioral scientist Dr. Rakoen Maertens from Cambridge University joins me to discuss the development of the Misinformation Susceptibility Test (MIST) and the importance of creating metric tools that have high validity in measuring false narratives. We cover what the mainstream media needs to do to regain the trust of a society that has expressed skepticism about their reporting. I also attempt to pitch a game show about misinformation with Dr. Maertens to sell to Netflix.  Misinformation Susceptibility Test https://yourmist.streamlit.app/ Facebook The Social Chemist | Facebook Instagram The Social Chemist (@socialchemistig) • Instagram photos and videos Substack The Social Chemist | Substack Twitter The Social Chemist | Twitter Dr. Rakoen Maertens Social Media/Literature Reviews Rakoen Maertens | TwitterRakoen Maertens | InstagramThe Misinformation Susceptibility Test (MIST): A psychometrically validated measure of news veracity discernmentOnline References How well can Americans distinguish real news headlines from fake ones?Americans' Trust In Media Remains Near Record LowOther Social Chemist Episodes Interventions for Conspiratorial Thinking and their Limitations w/ Cian O'MahonyDo Liberal Conspiracy Theories Exist in Contemporary Politics? w/ Ph.D. Benjamin Dow
