If you have a question about this talk, please contact Yara Kyrychenko .

Voting Advice Applications (VAAs) have become an influential feature of many electoral democracies, offering citizens algorithmically derived estimates as to how their policy preferences align with the positions of the political candidates or parties vying for election. This talk examines the dual role VAAs can play in combatting political misinformation: first, by fostering fact-based reflection on public policy issues; and second, by generating large-scale attitudinal and behavioural data that can enable novel areas of inquiry into the mechanisms by which misinformation spreads and influences public opinion.

This talk is part of the Social Psychology Seminar Series (SPSS) series.
