Ich finde es gut, dass das wissenschaftlich belegt wurde. Ich finde trotzdem, wir müssen es irgendwie schaffen, auch dumme Menschen irgendwie abzuholen. Keiner kann was dafür, mit welcher Intelligenz er/sie/es geboren wurde. Diese Studie jetzt ausschließlich dafür zu benutzen, die anderen als dumm zu beschimpfen, ist nicht zielführend.
Huch. War Winfuture nicht früher mal so eine Seite, die nur über neue Windows-Features berichtet hat?

Wie wurde die Intelligenz ermittelt?:
Cognitive ability was measured by a frequently used 8-item WordSum test where participants were asked to match a given word to the closest matching word from a target list of five choices. The specific vocabulary test shares high variance with general intelligence and has been consistently used to measure the cognitive ability of respondents as well as in recent studies related to information consumption and attitude formation. The test is also valid for the Singaporean sample since English is the primary language of the educational system and the most spoken language.

The third takeaway reveals that social media users with low cognitive ability are particularly susceptible to the detrimental effects of social media, exhibiting higher levels of prejudice. Our data suggests a negative association between cognitive ability and anti-immigrant affect across all three immigrant groups. Moreover, cognitive ability was found to moderate the mediation effect via threat perceptions for all these groups. Therefore, the role of realistic and symbolic threats in tuning social media use into prejudiced emotions is more significant in individuals with lower and moderate cognitive ability levels than in individuals with high cognitive ability.
The study confirms existing research explicating the direct associations and expands on it, showing that cognitive ability might influence how individuals process and evaluate information, especially sociopolitical content, on social media platforms. Those with lower cognitive abilities might be more prone to accepting misinformation or being influenced by biased narratives, leading to heightened prejudiced emotions. This aligns with existing research that has explored direct associations between cognitive ability and prejudice, suggesting that cognitive ability can influence both direct prejudice and how users interpret sociopolitical content, culminating in prejudiced emotions.
Die Studie untersucht noch weiteres. Ist interessant.
