Clarifying the Relations between Intellectual Humility and Misinformation: Pseudoscience, Conspiracy Theories, and Fake News

Although IH tended to be negatively associated with misinformation, there were differences across IH and misinformation measures. Research should examine whether IH interventions lessen endorsement of misinformation.
