From: The role of analytical reasoning and source credibility on the evaluation of real and fake full-length news articles

Fig. 1

Percent accuracy for real (gray line) and fake (black line) news articles across levels of analytical reasoning (continuous; indexed by Cognitive Reflection Test (CRT) scores) in Study 1 (Panel A) and Study 2 (Panel B). Error bars denote standard errors. The medium analytical reasoning level indicates the mean CRT score in the current sample while the low and high levels indicate 1 SD below and above the mean CRT score, respectively. The y-axis start point reflects the 50% chance level. Consistent across both studies, real news accuracy did not change across levels of analytical reasoning, while accuracy for fake news increased with higher analytical reasoning
