- 요약Social connections and social networks play pivotal roles in shaping citizens' information environment. Despite their importance, we are far from understanding whether, and in what ways, social networks contribute to citizens' beliefs about and sharing of facts and falsehoods. In this dissertation, building on the regulatory perspective of social networks, I argue that trust plays an important role in how individuals process (mis)information encountered through the grapevine, and that network closure-a structural factor of networks pertaining to whether two individuals share a mutual tie-can enhance trust in a communication partner, thereby contributing to factual beliefs and (mis)information sharing. Using an interactive experiment, in which participants play economic trust games with a (bot) communication partner whose benevolence and integrity is manipulated, I find that exposure to factual claims shared by a trustworthy (or an untrustworthy) partner has no detectable impact on factual beliefs and (mis)information sharing compared with exposure to factual claims online. Through two methodological studies, I show that network closure can be manipulated using trust games, in which participants interact with two other individuals who indeed are bots, to evoke more or less trust in a communication partner. These results raise the possibility that trust in a communication partner might be less important as we typically assume, but the findings are far from conclusive for various reasons. They bring up new questions about whether different types of trust might contribute to factual beliefs and (mis)information sharing differently. More broadly, by using interactive experiments in which participants interact with bots and play trust games, my dissertation has important methodological implications for the study of interpersonal and network processes.
