This\u0026nbsp;study sought to identify individual differences that meaningfully predict one\u0026rsquo;s ability to detect these\u0026nbsp;forgeries. It was hypothesized that measures of affect detection (theory of mind ability) and political\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;orientation would correlate with performance on a deepfake detection task. Within a sample (N = 173) of\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;college undergraduates and participants from Amazon\u0026rsquo;s Mechanical Turk platform, affect detection\u0026nbsp;ability was shown to correlate with deepfake detection ability, r(171) = .73, p \u0026lt; .001, and general\u0026nbsp;orientation to the political left was shown to correlate with deepfake detection ability, r(171) = .31, p \u0026lt;\u0026nbsp;.001. Stronger correlations with deepfake detection ability were observed among specific facets of\u0026nbsp;political orientation: economic liberalism, r(171) = .4, p \u0026lt; .001, and social progressivism, r(171) = .57, p\u0026nbsp;\u0026lt; .001. However, affect detection ability was shown to mediate the relationship between deepfake\u0026nbsp;detection ability and political orientation (Sobel Statistic = 5.29, SE = 3.29, p \u0026lt; .001). The deepfake\u0026nbsp;detection task was also assessed as a predictor of an autism spectrum disorder screening instrument,\u0026nbsp;r(171) = -.23, p \u0026lt; .001. The results of this study serve to identify populations who are particularly\u0026nbsp;susceptible to deception via deepfake video and to inform the development of interventions that may help\u0026nbsp;defend the vulnerable from nefarious attempts to influence them.\u003Cstrong\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":"","field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"Individual Differences in Deepfake Detection: Mindblindness and Political Orientation"}],"uid":"27707","created_gmt":"2020-12-04 17:49:53","changed_gmt":"2020-12-04 17:49:53","author":"Tatianna Richardson","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2020-12-11T13:00:00-05:00","event_time_end":"2020-12-11T15:00:00-05:00","event_time_end_last":"2020-12-11T15:00:00-05:00","gmt_time_start":"2020-12-11 18:00:00","gmt_time_end":"2020-12-11 20:00:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2020-12-11 20:00:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"groups":[{"id":"221981","name":"Graduate Studies"}],"categories":[],"keywords":[{"id":"111531","name":"ms defense"}],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[{"id":"1788","name":"Other\/Miscellaneous"}],"invited_audience":[{"id":"78761","name":"Faculty\/Staff"},{"id":"78771","name":"Public"},{"id":"174045","name":"Graduate students"},{"id":"78751","name":"Undergraduate students"}],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[],"email":[],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}}}
