Instructiоns: Begin by reаding Scenаriо 3 belоw. Identify two cognitive or socio-аffective drivers that contributed to people’s susceptibility to the misinformation. Explain why each driver contributes to false beliefs generally, and show where they appear in the scenario. What is pre-bunking, and how might that have helped to counter the false information in this case? Scenario: False Report Sparks Campus Uproar at Georgia Tech Georgia Tech’s campus has been thrust into disarray after a sensational yet fabricated article published in The Buzz, a well-respected student-run newspaper, ignited a wave of emotional protests, class disruptions, and widespread misinformation. The article, titled “Institute Quietly Cuts Mental Health Funding Amid Crisis,” claimed that the university had secretly slashed its counseling budget by 40%, citing anonymous sources and framing the move as a betrayal of student trust. At the center of the storm is Daniel Procel, a prominent student leader and president of the Undergraduate Council. Known for his charismatic speaking and active social media presence, Procel was quoted extensively in the article and later took to multiple campus events and online forums to decry the alleged decision. “We’ve been abandoned,” he said during a student rally on Tech Green. “When we needed help the most, they turned their backs.” The article struck a nerve with the student body, many of whom were already feeling overwhelmed by midterms and a recent spate of high-profile mental health discussions on campus. Emotional appeals in the piece included student testimonials, vivid language describing “dark dorm rooms and silenced cries,” and photos of crowded counseling office waiting areas—none of which were verified or sourced. Over the following weeks, the story was repeated so often—in casual conversations, classroom discussions, and even by guest speakers—that it took on a life of its own. Despite repeated clarifications by the administration that mental health funding had in fact increased by 12% over the past year, the narrative remained fixed in the student imagination. As campus leaders scrambled to restore trust, the leadership suspended Daniel Procel for spreading disinformation, claiming that he was inciting distrust and laying the groundwork for violent riots. Already a respected leader among the student body (who also won the most handsome student award in the previous year), the linkage between Procel and the story has only increased student belief in the false claim. A month later, The Buzz issued a correction and apology, admitting that the article failed basic journalistic standards. However, students continued to believe the earlier information as the story took on a life of its own. In the aftermath, the university has launched an internal review of student media practices and plans to introduce mandatory fact-checking workshops for all contributors to campus publications.
