Subclaims¶
Reading the evidence codes
q is the design tier, i the impact, n the sample, and the kind with its r
the rigour judged within that kind: what each code means.
This claim: no standardized effect is recorded in observations/ for it yet, so no benchmark reading is possible.
q2 i? In secondary analyses on the decision-to-use measure, expert-video use was predicted only by need for evidence, and layperson-video use only by age. → Brivael Hémon 2025

q2 · i? · causal · r2
Secondary analyses (footnote 2, Results §4.2) applying the same regressions to the decision to use videos in a school presentation; "the use of videos featuring laypersons was only predicted by the age of the student (β = -.17, p = .003)". No standardised effect size is printed.
"The use of videos featuring experts was only predicted by need for evidence for facts (β = .17, p = .011) and the use of videos featuring laypersons was only predicted by the age of the student (β = -.17, p = .003)"
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- Discernment favoring expert over layperson videos is predicted by justification by authority, openness to revising one's viewpoint, age, and negatively by personal justification — related
- Evaluation of layperson videos is predicted by self-efficacy, personal justification, respect for others' viewpoint, and negatively by age — related
- Both expert and layperson videos were evaluated positively, with a slight tendency to favor expert videos — related
- Self-efficacy is associated with higher video trustworthiness ratings regardless of source expertise — related
