Prior experiments on political information use thin informational treatments consisting of a single piece of information or one argument.
“However, these experiments use thin informational treatments consisting of a single piece of information. Researchers typically present to participants a single fact relevant to a topic (e.g., ref. 4) or one argument either supporting or opposing a policy proposal (e.g., ref. 23).”
From Factual knowledge can reduce attitude polarization (2025) · cites this paper as [4]
A growing number of empirical studies have uncovered evidence that people update their political attitudes and beliefs in line with evidence and arguments presented to them.
“Consistent with this view, a growing number of empirical studies have uncovered evidence that people update their political attitudes and beliefs in line with evidence (e.g., refs. 4,13,27–29) and arguments23,30,31 presented to them.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
