Interessant. Of niet, dat mag je zelf uitmaken ;-)
Political misperceptions can distort public debate and undermine people’s
ability to form meaningful opinions. Why do people often hold these false
or unsupported beliefs and why is it sometimes so difficult
to convince them otherwise? We argue that political misperceptions are typically rooted in directionally motivated reasoning, which limits the e?ectiveness of corrective information about controversial issues and political figures. We discuss factors known to a?ect the prevalence of directionally motivated reasoning and assess strategies for accurately measuring misperceptions in surveys. Finally,
we address the normative implications of misperceptions for democracy and
suggest important topics for future research
