Extraction and analysis of information disorder components in the formation of Extra-informationalism

Information disorder, as one of the main challenges of the digital age, leads to the formation of repeated and repeated information seeking behaviors, known as Extra-informationalism. This phenomenon is the result of a complex interaction between four main components: sender, content, channels and receivers. Senders with political, economic and ideological motives, along with the use of opaque actors and the production of content based on artificial intelligence, try to manipulate public perception. Information content, with its inaccurate, emotional, complex and multimedia characteristics, increases cognitive load and ambiguity and leads audiences to repeatedly search for information. Digital channels, including content personalization algorithms and weaknesses in information monitoring and governance, facilitate the rapid and pervasive spread of disruptive information. Receivers are also more likely to be caught in the cycle of Extra-informationalism due to weaknesses in information and media literacy, cognitive biases and emotional and psychological states. Qualitative data analysis with MAXQDA software showed that these factors simultaneously reinforce multi-source and frequent search behaviors. The findings highlight the importance of designing information literacy programs, promoting digital well-being, and formulating effective policies on information governance, and provide a conceptual framework for understanding the mechanisms that create Extra-informationalism.
