Abstract

We will examine whether different social media nudges (i.e., warnings) are more or less effective in combating misinformation and influence perceptions and recall of out-group members. Participants will be presented with an ambiguous scene with misinformation and different nudges. News source and dehumanization are variables of potential inclusion as well.
