🚨New paper in press @ JEPG🚨 Http://psyarxiv.com/8fkpy
Remember the paper showing that it’s specifically low-conscientious#conservatives who share fake news? It got lots of coverage. BUT it seems like that claim isn't actually true - in a new paper, we fail to replicate it in 5(!) times and also show that even the original data don't support the claim (because they look at overall sharing, not specifically at sharing of false claims).
Check out the ungated paper: "Conscientiousness does not moderate the association between political ideology and susceptibility to fake news sharing" at http://psyarxiv.com/8fkpy
