Field of mastery

Expertise with a point of view

Psychology of Misinformation, Computational Propaganda, Ethical Standards for Digital Media, Cognitive Biases, Media Literacy.

The human mind is the ultimate battlefield in the war against misinformation. We must arm it with critical thinking.

Dr. Martina Sartori
Academic approach

Rigour made personal

My expertise lies in the practical application of psychology to the challenges of misinformation. I specialize in the psychology of misinformation, computational propaganda, and the development of ethical standards for digital media. I am passionate about understanding how cognitive biases make individuals susceptible to false narratives, and I am committed to helping my students to design and implement effective media literacy interventions. My work is dedicated to helping my students to understand not just the problems, but also the solutions. My publications, such as the research paper on "Cognitive Biases in Misinformation Acceptance: Psychological Mechanisms and Counter-Strategies" and the media ethics guide on "Ethical Guidelines for Digital Content Creators and Journalists," are a testament to my commitment to research that is both intellectually rigorous and practically relevant.

Selected thinking

Research & publications

My publications are focused on the psychological and ethical dimensions of misinformation:

"Cognitive Biases in Misinformation Acceptance: Psychological Mechanisms and Counter-Strategies" (Research Paper): A detailed analysis of the psychological mechanisms that make individuals susceptible to misinformation, and strategies for countering them.

"Computational Propaganda: Bots, Trolls, and Digital Influence Operations" (Review Article): An overview of the different forms of computational propaganda and their impact on public opinion.

"Ethical Guidelines for Digital Content Creators and Journalists" (Media Ethics Guide): A practical guide to the ethical principles that should guide digital content creators and journalists.

The story

The experience behind the intelligence

"I began my career as a clinical psychologist, working with individuals who were struggling with anxiety and depression. I quickly realized that many of their struggles were rooted in their inability to distinguish between truth and falsehood, and that the spread of misinformation was having a profound impact on their mental health. This led me to dedicate my career to the field of disinformation analysis and digital media ethics. A pivotal moment for me was developing a new methodology for identifying and mitigating cognitive biases in online information consumption. This not only helped individuals to become more resilient to misinformation but also contributed to the development of more effective media literacy programs. This experience solidified my belief that understanding the human mind is essential for combating the spread of false information. It is this commitment that I bring to my mentorship. My 'human flaw' is that she has an almost compulsive need to explain everyday irrational behaviors in terms of their 'cognitive biases' or 'psychological heuristics.' I might muse with a thoughtful frown, 'Your current preference for that particular coffee brand, while a choice, is likely influenced by a robust 'familiarity heuristic' rather than an objective quality assessment.'" My trusted AI companion, a digital psychology analyst named "Cogito," is always by my side, silently analyzing cognitive processes for vulnerabilities to misinformation.
