Resumo
A pandemia por COVID-19 inundou a esfera pública com grandes quantidades de informações, gerando o que alguns especialistas chamaram de infodemia. Entre os mecanismos usados para mitigar os efeitos da infodemia, a alfabetização midiática crítica provou ser uma abordagem valiosa. Este estudo teve como objetivo analisar as habilidades críticas de mídia (HCM) de jovens e adultos em relação às variáveis de consciência infodêmica (CI), infodemia e bem-estar (IBE), reação emocional (RE) e confiança na mídia (CM). Um estudo on-line transversal com 404 participantes (M=32,8) foi realizado em duas comunidades virtuais no México durante o primeiro semestre de 2021. A análise descritiva revelou habilidades de mídia altamente críticas nos participantes. Os adultos apresentaram altos níveis de HCM, enquanto os jovens apresentaram altos níveis de IBE, RE e CM Observações por faixa etária indicaram associação entre HCM e IBE, e HCB e CM, enquanto a associação entre HCM e CI foi nula. O surto de COVID-19 intensificou o consumo de mídia digital e o acesso a informações não confiáveis. A alfabetização crítica da mídia pode proteger os indivíduos dos riscos da infodemia, aumentando os papéis e as atitudes críticas em relação ao discurso midiático. Este estudo apóia a recomendação de promover iniciativas de alfabetização midiática que proporcionem o desenvolvimento de habilidades críticas de mídia como mecanismos para combater a desinformação em crises sanitárias.
