1. suggesting the lack of a significant serial mediation effect involving these variables. In this mediation model the ratio of the indirect effect of delusion-like ideation on belief in fake news (through reduced analytic and actively open-minded thinking) to the total effect was 0.33 (95% CI = [0.17 0.55]). In tandem with the results of Study 1, this result suggests that approximately 36% of the relationship between belief in fake news and delusion-like ideation is explained by the combination of reduced analytic and actively open-minded thinking;open-minded thinking and then through analytic thinking was not significant
2. individual differences in the illusory truth effect for information one knows is false may be most predictive of belief in fake news given its striking disregard for truth;Begg;One notable limitation of these analyses may be their use of both false and true facts to examine the illusory truth effect,1992
