“Multilevel modelling showed that Generation Z, non-male, less educated, and more conservative individuals were more vulnerable to misinformation. Furthermore, while individuals' confidence in detecting misinformation was generally associated with better actual discernment, the degree to which perceived ability matched actual ability varied across subgroups. That is, whereas women were especially accurate in assessing their ability, extreme conservatives' perceived ability showed little relation to their actual misinformation discernment. Meanwhile, across all generations, Gen Z perceived their misinformation discernment ability most accurately, despite performing worst on the test.” 0 reply
