“The Vegan Generation”: Investigating Vegan Consumers’ Responses Toward False Advertising on Social Media

We conducted an experimental study with vegan and vegetarian populations—consumer groups that are becoming more prevalent yet are understudied. We specifically examined how consumers respond differently to false advertising on social media, whether the advertising advocates vegetarianism or meat-eating, as well as the effects of social media’s fact-check function.
