Notes

1 There is no available sampling frame for the population of WhatsApp users; hence probability-based sampling is not possible.

2 Participants were first asked a screening question about exposure to information on WhatsApp within their messaging group. Specifically, they reported the frequency of sharing/forwarding of news and information by others in their groups in the same five categories mentioned. Response options were: Once a month or less, 2 to 3 times a month, Once a week, Once every day, 2 to 5 times a day, 6 to 10 times a day, 11 to 20 times a day, and More than 20 times a day. The aim of this was to limit inflated responses; participants who responded “once a month or less” were not asked the exposure outcome variable; hence the lower N for the models of these outcome variables as seen in Tables 7.1 and 7.2.

3 The reliability (Cronbach’s alpha) was high, with 0.91, 0.92, and 0.92 in Singapore, Turkey, and the US respectively.

4 The reliability (Cronbach’s alpha) was high, with 0.91, 0.88, and 0.89 in Singapore, Turkey, and the US respectively.

5 The broader survey included measures about privacy, media habits, messaging group characteristic, and digital literacy, which are beyond the scope of this chapter.
