Decision making in the process of selecting or purchasing a product is strongly influenced by available information. The growing volume and new technologies for creating manipulative information cause high risks of disorientation in the media space. In this regard, interdisciplinary aspects of false and manipulative content perception, decision-making process and the choice of individuals are especially important.

The article illustrates key interdisciplinary approaches to the study of manipulative information important categories and demonstrates the technological evolution from common media manipulations (media framing, euphemisms) to modern types of false information (fake news, deepfakes). The role of trust in manipulative information in the context of (a) the source, (b) content and (c) consumer of information is also considered. An entire body of interdisciplinary research demonstrates that the credibility of fake content and its influence on decision-making is significantly dependent on the factors belonging to these categories. This theoretical review not only combines the results of key studies in psychology, sociology and economics, but also significantly expands the understanding of the manipulative information impact features in the context of the rapid development of new technologies.
