Behavior Change Interventions
Combating Online Misinformation

A Scoping Review

To assist researchers during the design and development of behavioral intervention against misinformation, we synthesize our findings from three research questions - behavioral objectives, theories and reasons of failure - into a set of design cards. Design cards are a widely adopted design support tool in Interaction Design, providing, what Rogers (2004) calls knowledge transfer (i.e., the translation of research findings from one discipline into another), and provide several benefits for the design process: they make the design process visible and less abstract, they communicate knowledge between group members and increase creativity and idea generation, among others (Deng et al., 2014; Wölfel & Merritt, 2013).
