Belonging & Belief: The Identity Paradox in Misinformation | Carolin-Theresa Ziemer | TEDxSaarbrigge

Why do we believe misinformation? Often, it’s not about facts—it’s about identity. In her TEDx talk, Dr. Carolin Ziemer explores how belonging can outweigh truth and shares three strategies to build resilience: inoculation, empathy, and identity building. Identities can make us vulnerable—but they can also help us resist. Carolin-Theresa Ziemer ist Psychologin und seit 2020 wissenschaftliche Mitarbeiterin am Institut für Kommunikationswissenschaft der Friedrich-Schiller-Universität Jena. Sie war Gastwissenschaftlerin am Social Decision-Making Lab der University of Cambridge sowie bei der UNESCO Paris. Seit 2024 ist sie wissenschaftliche Beirätin von Veritas e.V., einer NGO, die Angehörige von Verschwörungsgläubigen unterstützt. Carolin ist Expertin für psychologische Anfälligkeitsfaktoren gegenüber Desinformation und entwickelt Interventionen zur Stärkung individueller Resilienz. Außerdem forscht sie zu Verschwörungsglauben, gesellschaftlicher Polarisierung sowie zum Einfluss sozialer Identitäten. Carolin betreibt engagiert Wissenschaftskommunikation und setzt sich für einen stärkeren Austausch zwischen Forschung, Politik und Gesellschaft im Umgang mit Desinformation ein. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx Receive SMS online on sms24.me
