DESCRIPTION:Speakers:\n\n\n	Matthew Blomberg​​ Ph.D.\, Temple 
 University Japan\, Assistant Professor of Journalism\n	​John W. 
 Cheng​​ Ph.D.\, Aoyama Gaukin University\, Associate Professor\, 
 Department of International 
 Communication\n\n\nOverview:\n\nMisinformation\, disinformation\, and 
 emerging forms of AI-generated pseudo-information are increasingly 
 disrupting the global information landscape. These phenomena pose serious 
 challenges for individuals and institutions attempting to discern what is 
 accurate\, trustworthy\, and reliable. This presentation draws on a series 
 of recent studies conducted by Assistant Professor Matthew Blomberg and 
 Associate Professor John W. Cheng\, including a new investigation into the 
 illusory truth effect and the influence of need for cognition on vaccine 
 disinformation susceptibility in Japan. The session will examine 
 cross-national trends\, particularly in Japan and the United States\, and 
 discuss potential tools\, procedures\, and policy responses for mitigating 
 the spread and impact of false and deceptive information.\n\nModerator:
