AI总结：
本研究通过定性调查与半结构化访谈，探究儿童接触社交媒体虚假信息的经历及家长的相关认知，发现儿童易受深度伪造等虚假信息影响，家长与学校需共同培养孩子的批判性思维与媒介素养，且虚假信息会影响家庭关系。
摘要：
儿童接触社交媒体虚假信息的程度与家长相近。但与家长不同的是，儿童属于格外脆弱的群体——他们的认知能力与情绪调节能力仍在发育，这使得他们更容易受到网络虚假信息和不实言论的影响。然而，目前学界对儿童遭遇虚假信息的经历，以及家长对虚假信息影响儿童发展的看法都知之甚少。为解答这些问题，我们结合了针对87名家长的定性调查，以及针对12名家长与儿童的半结构化访谈。研究发现，儿童在社交媒体上通常会接触到深度伪造（deep fakes）内容、带有政治背景的表情包（memes），或是名人/网红谣言。儿童透露，在使用Google搜索或询问家长之前，他们会先“询问Siri”来判断某条社交媒体视频或帖子的真伪。家长们对孩子易受虚假信息影响表示不满，称帮助孩子培养批判性思维能力以应对社交媒体上的不实信息的责任落在了自己身上。对此，大多数家长认为学校也应当向孩子教授这些技能以及媒介素养。家长和儿童都表示，虚假信息会影响家庭关系，尤其是当祖父母与他们持有不同政治观点时。
英文摘要：
Children encounter misinformation on social media in a similar capacity as their parents. Unlike their parents, children are an exceptionally vulnerable population because their cognitive abilities and emotional regulation are still maturing, rendering them more susceptible to misinformation and falsehoods online. Yet, little is known about children's experience with misinformation as well as what their parents think of the misinformation's effect on child development. To answer these questions, we combined a qualitative survey of parents (n=87) with semi-structured interviews of both parents and children (n=12). We found that children usually encounter deep fakes, memes with political context, or celebrity/influencer rumors on social media. Children revealed they "ask Siri" whether a social media video or post is true or not before they search on Google or ask their parents about it. Parents expressed discontent that their children are impressionable to misinformation, stating that the burden falls on them to help their children develop critical thinking skills for navigating falsehoods on social media. Here, the majority of parents felt that schools should also teach these skills as well as media literacy to their children. Misinformation, according to both parents and children affects the family relationships especially with grandparents with different political views than theirs.
