Abstract

Including accuracy prompts and digital literacy tips similarly decrease the likelihood to share COVID-related headlines, especially if they are false.

Author comments upon resubmission

Thank you to the editor and the reviewers for reading and assessing the revised manuscript. I addressed all remaining suggestions.

List of changes

  • clarification of exclusion criteria for data of participant ("who chose the same rating for all headlines")
  • fixing of typo ("with a cumulative Bayesian...")
  • clarification of reporting of estimates and posterior probabilities at the end of the Methods section ("Estimates together with posterior probabilities of this estimate being > 0 are reported for each contrast.")
  • separation of the figure into two subfigures, one showing response frequencies and one showing means
