Abstract
By implementing realistic online news, we investigated the role of contextualized self-efficacies in coping with misinformation that adolescents encounter on SNs; mainly, what plays a protective role in counteracting misinformation spread is the perceived ability to resist sharing a questionable piece of news, even when its veracity is in doubt.
