Misinformation and disinformation
Misinformation is false or inaccurate information — getting the facts wrong. Disinformation is false information, which is deliberately intended to mislead — intentionally misstating the facts.
The spread of misinformation and disinformation has affected our ability to improve public health, address climate change, maintain a stable democracy, and more. By providing valuable insight into how and why we are likely to believe misinformation and disinformation, psychological science can inform how we protect ourselves against its ill effects.

UERJ 2º EXAME 2025The dangers of preconceived judgement:
look beyond stereotypes
People often say “Don’t judge a book by its cover”, and it holds true in many aspects of life. We are all
guilty of making snap judgements about others based on their appearance, actions or even just a brief
encounter. But have you ever wondered why it’s important not to judge someone before getting to know
them? Do you ever consider that?
[5] Imagine that you are at a party and, out of the corner of your eye, you spot a person with a unique
hairstyle and an outfit that screams “fashion forward”. Your brain, always ready for action, instantly springs
into snap judgement mode. “They must be an avant-garde artist or a fashion model”, it enthusiastically
proclaims. This is thin slice judgement! It refers to the action of making lightning-fast judgements based
on minimal information. An example is when you are at a job interview, and the person in the hot seat
[10] glances at your handwriting before making a quick assessment of your personality. It sounds ludicrous,
but our brain has a way of magnifying minor details and turning them into grand narratives. As amusing
as it may seem, such judgements can have real-life consequences.
While snap judgements can provide an amusing story to share at parties, they can perpetuate stereotypes,
reinforce biases and limit our ability to see the true beauty in diversity. Instead of jumping to conclusions,
[15] it’s better to lean into curiosity. Ask questions, seek out diverse perspectives and recognize that everyone
has a unique story to tell. By embracing our inquisitive nature, we can uncover the richness of human
experiences and challenge our own biases.
Empathy is the secret weapon against prejudice. To truly understand someone, you must put yourself in
their shoes and see the world through their eyes. Actually, prejudice is when we form an opinion or make
[20] assumptions about someone without having all the facts. It’s like trying to write a book review after only
reading the first chapter. We should strive to give people a fair chance before passing judgement. Besides,
it’s essential to remember that nobody is perfect, and we should embrace diversity instead of assuming
we’re always right. Rather than acting as self-appointed judges, we should approach people with empathy
and understanding.
[25] Practicing self-compassion and recognizing our own imperfections can help us show more compassion
towards others. Harsh judgement can stem from a variety of factors, such as insecurity, fear or simply our
own experiences and biases, but it’s okay, we’ve all been there! What’s important is to take a step back and
reflect on why we are quick to judge. And, if we always do that, it’s time to think outside the box.

FGV-SP Administração - UNIFICADO 2024“Em 1948 a África do Sul estava iniciando um dos maiores avanços que qualquer país moderno poderia esperar [...]
Então seu partido assumiu o poder [...]
Primeiro vocês fizeram voltar os navios com emigrantes [...] Depois vocês ignoraram os seis anos de guerra contra a ditadura e a tirania e libertaram pró-nazistas, sabotadores e fascistas das prisões da África do Sul.
Vocês criaram o Apartheid. Vocês pintaram sinais raciais em bancos de parques, agências dos correios, vagões ferroviários e entradas públicas, aprovando uma lei racial injusta depois da outra.
Vocês conseguiram votos jogando os brancos contra os negros, aproveitando-se dos temores dos brancos, explorando a ganância dos brancos”.
