This Element examines just how much the public knows about some of
America's most stigmatized social groups, who comprise 40.3% of the
population, and evaluates whether misinformation matters for
shaping policy attitudes and candidate support. The authors design
and field an original survey containing large national samples of
Black, Latino, Asian, Muslim, and White Americans, and include
measures of misinformation designed to assess the amount of factual
information that individuals possess about these groups. They find
that Republicans, Whites, the most racially resentful, and
consumers of conservative news outlets are the most likely to be
misinformed about socially marginalized groups. Their analysis also
indicates that misinformation predicts hostile policy support on
racialized issues; it is also positively correlated with support
for Trump. They then conducted three studies aimed at correcting
misinformation. Their research speaks to the prospects of a
well-functioning democracy, and its ramifications on the most
marginalized.
