Relation
Results of Experiment 1 of "Correcting the unknown: Negated corrections may increase belief in misinformation"
- Subjects took note of the target concept "less often in the corrections condition than in the exposed/no correction condition, but still more often than in the not exposed/no correction condition," demonstrating the presence of the continued influence effect.
- Generally, individuals exposed to the target concept mentioned it more frequently than those who were not.
- Additionally, individuals who were met with no correction mentioned the target concept more than individuals who were met with negated corrections, while individuals who were met with negated corrections mentioned the target concept more than individuals who were met with replacement corrections.
- The negated corrections reduced participants' belief among participants who were exposed to the target concept and increased participants' belief among participants who were not exposed to the target concept.
