Does Source (un)Trustworthiness Moderate the Effects of Repetition and Contradiction on Information’s Truth-Value?

We manipulated trustworthiness through the facial features of information-sources and presented participants with messages repeating vs. contradicting previous information. We tested the potential of source-trustworthiness to counteract the rejection of contradictory messages, and of source-untrustworthiness to counteract the intuitive acceptance of repeated false messages as a potential information correction strategy.
