In this article, we explain Observational Correction as a means of reducing misperceptions caused by misinformation on its viewers. Observational Correction happens when a viewer, seeing someone else being corrected on social media, updates their own attitudes; it can also work on the person who is (re)sharing the misinformation post, especially when correction comes from a close tie. To have a stronger effect, we suggest a few practices– back the correction up by citing highly credible sources and provide a coherent explanation for what is factually wrong and why it is so. Also offer multiple corrections and offer a correction early before the misinformation is ingrained and people become more motivated to defend it. This system is reliant on a system of trusted and willing correctors and hence we need to research how to encourage more people to respond to misinformation. A potential pitfall is the issue of ‘false corrections’ with people claiming to correct when they are actually providing misinformation either by mistake or in bad faith. We also need to emphasize prioritizing popular pieces of misinformation because addressing a rare myth might unnecessarily increase its attention.
