Resumen

El estudio examina la difusión y verificación de noticias falsas en diferentes generaciones. Para ello, empleamos una metodología cuantitativa, recolectando datos a través de cuestionarios, alcanzando 800 respuestas válidas. La investigación adoptó un método cuantitativo, enviando cuestionarios a la población de Blumenau – Brasil. Para el análisis de los datos, utilizamos una regresión logística ordinal para examinar la razón de probabilidades de que los grupos verifiquen la autenticidad de la información antes de compartirla en las redes sociales. El análisis mostró que la edad y el nivel educativo son factores determinantes en la verificación de la información, mientras que el género no influye significativamente en este comportamiento. Los resultados indican una mayor probabilidad de no verificar la información entre los usuarios de mayor edad y menor nivel educativo.
