Belief-Sim: Towards Belief-Driven Simulation of Demographic Misinformation Susceptibility (opens in new tab)

arXiv:2603.03585v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Misinformation is a growing societal threat, and susceptibility to misinformative claims varies across demographic groups due to differences in underlying beliefs. As Large Language Models (LLMs) are increasingly used to simulate human behaviors, we investigate whether they can simulate demographic misinformation susceptibility, treating beliefs as a primary driving factor. We introduce BeliefSim, a simulation framework that constructs demogr...
