During the class video and within the lecture slides, selective attention, misinformation and disinformation are defined. Based on the definitions, which of the statements below describes the following scenario best: A friend of yours tells you he is starting a society called 'The sun is yellow' society and asks you to join for free. This is a very good friend of yours and he has never lied to you but he is very stubborn. You feel bad for him and try to explain to him why the sun appears yellow. You tell your friend that the sun actually emits white light but looks yellow because when the sun's white light hits the atmosphere shorter wavelengths of light are scattered (or reflected) and longer wavelengths, like yellow, reach the ground and are perceived by our eyes and so the sun looks yellow to us. Your friend says he only believes what he sees and he sees a yellow sun and dismisses your information. Your friend then tries to recruit others to his society. Which of the following answers bests describes your friend in this scenario?单项选择题

A

My friend is spreading disinformation. He knows the correct information and believes it, so he is spreading false information trying to intentionally deceive people to join his society so he can charge them a fee and make money.

B

My friend is spreading misinformation. He has incorrect information that he is spreading but he doesn't understand or believe the true information and isn't trying to intentionally deceive people to join his society but wants others that believe what he believes to join his society.

C

He is using selective attention to ignore what you say while looking at the sun. Hopefully he doesn't go blind.
