Concept

The implied truth effect: Attaching warnings to a subset of fake news headlines increases perceived accuracy of headlines without warnings - discussion

  • Verifying warning tags removes a layer of vagueness for people when determining if headlines have been fact-checked or not
  • Other than perceived accuracy, there are other factors that influence whether a person chooses to share information they deem to be accurate or not because even in the warning and verification treatment where true information is explicitly labeled, participants were less likely to share untagged headlines
