Abstract

Having attentive behavior when a user decides to share information on social media is essential. Through such attentive behavior, users are more effectively identify misinformation so that they are not affected by its latent misleading information. In fact, through the vast growth in information in the omnipresence of online media today, increasingly we observe behavioral problems stemming from our one-click habit of easy decision making. This spread of misinformation can literally do severe damage, such as making medical decisions while distracted by receiving COVID-19 misinformation. However, although much research has explored traceability and situation prediction on the spread of misinformation, more research is required to prevent and understand the distraction that exists on human attention, allowing such spreading. Questions arise on how technological interventions can handle the lack of user awareness and when deciding to share information. The research objectives of this study are to investigate and intervene in the role of user attention factors when users decide to share information online. The study uses a mixture of quantitative and qualitative methods. In Study 1, we determined the importance of the attention factor in sharing information on social media by conducting a self-report survey (n=112). We also designed and experimented with a visual selective attention system (VSAS) to intervene in a Millennial’s decision (n=38) by applying an attention-based design approach in Study 2. We conclude that the intervention significantly improved user choices about what they share on online media. Engaging in attentive behavior while sharing information is expected to reduce the spread of misinformation. Furthermore, attentive behavioral factors are needed to form the basis of developing interactions in the design of future social media application systems and produce continuous knowledge that conducts to the non-coercive approach of handling misinformation sharing behavior

Abstract

Demonstrating attentive behavior when users decide to share information on social media is vital. Such attentiveness helps users more effectively identify misinformation, allowing them to avoid being misled by hidden deceptive content. The rapid increase of information in online media today means that the dissemination of misinformation can have serious negative consequences, such as threatening political stability and democracy, which can lead to societal divisions. While many studies have investigated the traceability and prediction of misinformation spread, additional research is necessary to understand and prevent the disruptions in human attention that contribute to this issue. This leads to questions about how technological interventions can enhance user awareness during the decision-making process of sharing information, especially to promote honest and constructive communication in a democratic context. The objective of this research is to examine and intervene in the factors of user attention when sharing information online, particularly regarding communication and democratic participation in Indonesia. This study employs a mixed-methods design, combining both quantitative and qualitative approaches. It is structured into two phases: Study 1 involves an investigation into the importance of attention factors in social media sharing through a self-report survey with adult participants from Palembang. Additionally, in Study 2, we designed and tested a Visual Selective Attention System (VSAS) using a Sociotechnical Design approach to influence decision-making by implementing an attention-focused design. We hope that the future development of interactions within a VSAS-based social media application will yield sustainable insights that encourage a non-coercive approach to managing the sharing of misinformation, thereby supporting transparent and fair communication and democratic participation (LUBER and JURDIL) in Indonesia.
