Overview of Study 1: Cognition and Emotion
- To measure cognitive ability, participants of Amazon Mechanical Turk took an intelligence test, known as the Ammons Quick Test, to assess the amount of evidence people gather before coming to a conclusion.
- To measure emotional investment, the participants completed three different measures: a "feeling thermometer" toward Democrats/Republicans, what emotions they felt toward each political party, and their emotions regarding the upcoming midterm election.
- To measure misbelief, participants rated how well they believed certain misinformation that aligned with either Democratic or Republican beliefs.
