You’re definitely wrong, maybe: Correction style has minimal effect on corrections of misinformation online Hypotheses

H1: “hedged corrections will be perceived as less aggressive and more polite than direct corrections”
H2: “detailed corrections will be perceived as more informative and less unhelpful than simple corrections”
H3: “hedged, detailed corrections will elicit greater reply likelihood”
H4: “hedged, detailed corrections will predict greater acceptance of information, whereas direct and simple corrections will predict increased resistance of information”
H5: “more analytic or actively open-minded individuals will have greater reply likelihood and acceptance of information in response to more detailed correction”
