Resumo

A pandemia da covid-19 impôs desafios globais que exigiram esforços coletivos de adaptação e resposta. A ameaça existencial da pandemia, o aumento global da dependência das redes sociais e a necessidade urgente de informações favoreceram a proliferação de notícias falsas. Este artigo tem o objetivo de contribuir para a compreensão dos processos psicológicos envolvidos na disseminação de notícias falsas. A metodologia consistiu em uma revisão de escopo da literatura empírica, seguindo o escopo Prisma as diretrizes PRISMA, sobre os processos psicológicos relacionados à aceitação de notícias falsas sobre a covid-19. A busca foi realizada em cinco bancos de dados por artigos publicados entre janeiro de 2020 e dezembro de 2021 em inglês e espanhol. Foram identificados 223 estudos, dos quais 18 atenderam aos critérios de elegibilidade. Os resultados indicam que a) a relação entre a consistência das teorias da conspiração, as crenças sobre a covid-19 e a aceitação de notícias falsas não é clara; b) há evidências de que emoções como ira e medo predizem parcialmente os comportamentos de compartilhamento de informações; c) os estilos cognitivos intuitivos estão associados à maior aceitação de notícias falsas; e d) a relação entre a orientação política e o endosso de notícias falsas não é clara. Discutimos as implicações de nossas descobertas e destacamos a necessidade urgente de mais pesquisas sobre esse aspecto cada vez mais problemático da comunicação humana.
