People underestimate the influence of repetition on truth judgments (especially for their own).
This is what @JerBena, @opatcorneille, Christian Unkelbach, and myself found in our new paper accepted in @CognitionJourn.

@ptrgo@hluga @opatcorneille Merci du partage, Patrice ; sur des sujets (très) proches, j'ai aussi vu https://t.co/PWqHkTrK6V et https://t.co/P8rLAMyMBl
Des réanalyses corrélationnelles des premières enquêtes IFOP sur le conspirationnisme en France avaient permis de pointer une association positive entre l’exposition antérieure perçue à un énoncé conspirationniste et la croyance en ce même énoncé https://t.co/KCedoMFSf7
Note of caution: we used a simple study design to estimate repetition-induced conspiracism, so we cannot generalize the findings to richer contexts. Future research may test whether repetition increases conspiracism when other information is available (e.g., source credibility).

Repetition could increase the perceived truth of conspiracy theories.

The results suggest that research on dispositional/individual factors might be usefully complemented with research on more situational factors, such as repetition, to gain new insights into conspiracy beliefs.
Can people estimate the influence of repetition on truth judgments (i.e., the “truth effect”)?
In a new preprint w/ @JerBena , @opatcorneille, and Christian Unkelbach, we addressed this question. 🧵
