Abstract

This study aims to find out the thinking process of students skeptical at hoaxes in terms of assimilation and accommodation framework. The research method used was descriptive qualitative. The data was collected through tests and interviews. The subjects of this study were students of Muhammadiyah Kotabumi University who were skeptical of the hoax. The results of this study show that the thinking process of skeptical students on hoaxes goes through several stages, namely 1) information absorption, 2) selection, and 3) decision making on the information. There were 3 characteristics of students who were skeptical of the hoax, namely the skeptical informant, the skeptical content, and the skeptical form of data. In skeptical informant was characterized by assimilation process of all information received if the source of information is included or comes from the trusted informant based on the existing scheme, but there was an accommodation process for all information received if it does not come from the trusted informant. In skeptical content was characterized by an analysis process of the logicalness of information which then occurs accommodation process to illogical or incompatible information with the existing scheme. The skeptical form of data was characterized by an accommodation process for all information presented in the qualitative form and only occurs the process of assimilation of the information presented in quantitative form.
