Understanding and modeling information and influence operation effects Information and influence operations are not new, but are a growing concern due to advancements in technology enabling the sharing of information with little cost. Experimental research in this area has started to build a foundation to understand how such operations exploit human’s cognitive vulnerabilities. However, there are mixed findings, a lack of consistency, and a stronger focus on artificial tasks that may not generalize to the real world. Furthermore, few computational models exist to predict, explain, and simulate information effects in individuals and models at the group level focus on information as a contagion. In order to make significant progress in understanding information and influence effects, we need a comprehensive and general theory capable of spanning from individuals to social networks. We need strong and consistent experimental methods, wider data collection, computational models, and realistic experimental materials. This symposium aims to bring together the ICCM community to have meaningful discussions about novel ideas for experiment designs and development of computational models capable of simulating information and influence effects within individuals and groups. Talks will include relevant research, novel ideas and frameworks to address research gaps, and discussion about how we can overcome challenges through collaborations.
