Abstract

L’utilizzo dello smartphone nelle fasce di età più giovani è ormai pervasivo e frequente sopratutto per quanto riguarda la fruizione dei contenuti dei vari Social Networks. Questa sovraesposizione costante a flussi informativi che necessitano di elaborazioni cognitive molto veloci può provocare la diminuzione dell’attenzione nella valutazione dei contenuti. La ricerca ha analizzato le percezioni di 60 studenti di un Corso Magistrale per verificare se esiste una correlazione tra l’uso eccessivo dello smartphone e la gestione consapevole delle fake news in cui essi si possono imbattere navigando su Web o nei Social Network. L’analisi del questionario sottoposto agli studenti pur evidenziando una “smartphone addiction” percepita con varia intensità da più del 50%, non ha rilevato una correlazione significativa nella gestione e riconoscimento delle fake news.
