Nice new study from Bernhard Clemm von Hohenberg and @andyguess.comdoi.org/10.1017/XPS....

Screengrab that reads: Conclusion: We designed a three-wave experiment that independently randomizes the source credibility of a hypothetical online news source and the direction of arguments presented to subjects in the form of articles published by that source. On the one hand, we demonstrate that our credibility manipulations worked: we measurably and durably moved people’s favorability toward, trust in, and perceptions of bias of this new source. On the other hand, this manipulation – however strong and long-lasting – does not seem to produce consistent or robust interactions with our persuasive treatments.
