Just out in Collabra: although people generally don't usually fully revise their beliefs when misinformation is corrected, we show that it's different when the information is about people. And this is true whether the information is positive or negative. /1

This work was led by amazing PhD student Amy Mickelberg, Nic Fay, and Ullrich Ecker, they just let me tag along 😊 it builds on previous work exploring the continued influence effect, or CIE: the phenomenon where people robustly fail to update their misinformed beliefs when corrected. /2
