Overview

Quantitative analysis reveals that higher digital literacy reduces disinformation vulnerability in users, suggesting targeted educational strategies are needed.

Key Points

  • Higher digital literacy is linked to lower vulnerability to disinformation, showing a significant correlation (r = -0.47).
  • Most respondents displayed 'adequate' digital literacy, particularly strong in technical skills but weak in critical evaluation.
  • The study used purposive sampling of 400 active social media users to examine the impact of digital literacy on disinformation.
  • Strengthening digital literacy education across technical, evaluative, and ethical dimensions may improve public resistance to disinformation.
