- Abstract
(1) Background: This paper is based on the hypothesis that not only formal education, but also intelligence/mindset should be taken into account when assessing the vulnerability of citizens to fake news. This is how we seek to determine the relationship between media consumption associated with fake news and the mindset in the citizens of Peru. (2) Methods: The sample consisted of 937 citizens aged 19 to 59 from the 25 departments of Peru. SPSS version 26 was used for data processing and analysis. Pearson’s correlation coefficient was used to test the hypotheses; (3) Results: It was found that there is a relationship between media consumption associated with fake news and the mindset in citizens. Conclusions (4): Most respondents use social media and television. However, when it comes to placing your trust in social media, you do so infrequently or never. The list of social media usage is headed by WhatsApp, Facebook, Instagram and YouTube. The results on Mindset Assessment and Motivation, Personality and Development, indicate that most perceive their own intelligence as something malleable and susceptible to modification.
