Implication

Meta-analysis reveals increased misinformation resilience from media literacy interventions in student and adult populations, indicating multi-session training maximizes protective effects.

Key Points

Resilience to false narratives improves markedly after media literacy interventions, significantly reducing misinformation sharing while decreasing belief in deceptive claims.
A summary effect size of d = 0.60 demonstrates enhanced overall resilience, while misinformation discernment improved markedly with a separate pooled effect of d = 0.76.
Meta-analysis synthesizing forty-nine experimental trials examined intervention efficacy, identifying stronger benefits in cultures exhibiting high uncertainty avoidance.
Supports inoculation theory by demonstrating how educational interventions foster resilience, providing vital guidance for designing multi-session media literacy programs.
