A study reveals that individuals experiencing social media fatigue are more likely to believe and share misinformation. Using Covid-19 fake news as an example, the study found that individuals with narcissistic traits and low cognitive ability were most likely to share misinformation due to social media fatigue. The overwhelming amount of information on social media hampers users' cognitive judgement, making it difficult to critically evaluate the accuracy of the information encountered. The study suggests the importance of addressing social media fatigue and promoting social media literacy to mitigate the spread of misinformation.
