Informed by the dual-process theoretical framework, this project is aimed to answer the following questions: First, what factors might affect individuals' epistemic engagement, manifested as factuality judgement, and how is their epistemic engagement related to their expressive engagement, namely liking and sharing a news post? Second, what roles does people's assessment of media trust play in these two aspects of engagement with information on social media? Third, how would the relationships between media trust and the two aspects of engagement on social media be moderated by individuals' cognitive motive of need for openness?By analyzing two nationally representative sample surveys, Study 1 found that in the context of political sectarianism, there is still a broad consensus among the general public in terms of their normative expectations of the media fulfilling its mission as a democratic institution. However, there existed a discrepancy between the normative beliefs of news media and the actual performance of news media.With two survey-experiments, Study 2 and Study 3 did not find the evidence of "truth bias" nor "deception bias". When making judgments of epistemic and expressive engagement, individuals were susceptible to suggestions from cues, such as partisan source cues and media credibility cues, to adjust their epistemic and expressive engagement. Source credibility played a more important role than media outlet credibility in individuals' factuality judgement and expressive engagement, and source credibility mitigated the effect of media outlet credibility. Individual characteristics of need for openness (NFO) and cognitive reflection test (CRT) were not significant predicators of factuality judgement while CRT was a significant negative predicator of expressive engagement. Individuals with higher levels of knowledge about Covid-19 made more accurate factuality judgements.The findings from this project have provided theoretical and practical implications in the deception detection paradigm, media trust on social media, and dual-process theory. This project also indicated several directions for future research, such as exploring the underlying mechanisms behind the relationship between epistemic engagement and expressive engagement, the application in a real-life setting of social media use, and the combinations of different credibility cues.
