Deliberative reasoning and fake news

This type of reasoning is motivated by political identity. This theory predicts that engaging in more deliberation when reading news posts should cause a person to hold more politically polarized beliefs and lead to greater belief in politically concordant but false claims. More deliberation is associated with worse truth discernment.
