The present study investigates the personal factors underlying online sharing of moral misleading news by observing the interaction between personal values, communication bias, credibility evaluations, and moral emotions. Specifically, we hypothesized that self-transcendence and conservation values may differently influence the sharing of misleading news depending on which moral domain is activated and that these are more likely to be shared when moral emotions and perceived credibility increase. In a sample of 132 participants (65% female), we tested SEMs on misleading news regarding violations in five different moral domains. The results suggest that self-transcendence values hinder online sharing of misleading news, while conservation values promote it; moreover, news written with a less blatantly biased linguistic frame are consistently rated as more credible. Lastly, more credible and emotionally activating news is more likely to be shared online.

Fear of spiders is a widespread condition often disproportionate to the actual danger spiders pose to humans. Likely rooted in evolutionary history, fear of spiders might also have a cultural component. Recent studies have shown that a significant fraction of spider-related media reports are misleading and sensationalistic.

Article Synopsis
- Fake news poses a serious threat to public safety and societal perceptions, often arising from sensationalism and misinformation.
- Current detection methods for fake news tend to focus on similarities between different media types (like text and images) but might overlook important differences that hold crucial information.
- The proposed MoPeD model enhances fake news detection by intelligently integrating and analyzing features from various modes (text, image) to better identify critical factors contributing to misinformation, showing improved results over existing methods.
