ABSTRACT Do family communication patterns or family conflict history affect the intention to correct misinformation shared by family members? A pre-registered online survey with a U.S. sample (N = 595) was conducted to answer this question. Results revealed that conversation orientation and conformity orientation positively predicted the intention to correct misinformation shared by a family member while family history was negatively related with intent. Theoretical implications for family communication research and study of misinformation correction are discussed.
