Correction: The psychological cycle of misinformation: an integrative model of legitimation perception in social networks

In the published article, there was a terminological error in Figure 1. The graphical representation incorrectly used the term “disinformation”, while the entire article consistently addresses the phenomenon of “misinformation”. This was caused by a translation error during figure preparation as, in Portuguese, both “misinformation” and “disinformation” are commonly translated as ^*desinformação^*, which led to the unintentional misuse of terminology in the image.

A corrected version of Figure 1 has been provided below.

The original version of this article has been updated.
