q3 i? ES evaluations after the first document did not differ across the four presentation sequences. → Franco Londra 2025

Evidence¶

q3 · i? · causal · r2

Linear mixed-model analysis of first-position ES ratings among 72 participants. The article reports "the trustworthiness evaluations of the ES did not vary between sequences, all p >.294", with estimated mean 4.36 (SE = 0.36); no effect size is printed.

"After reading the first text, the trustworthiness evaluations of the ES did not vary between sequences, all p >.294, with an estimated mean of 4.36, SE = 0.36"

Discussion¶

Related Claims¶

• References to document sources showed a significant sequence-type by position interaction, driven by first-position texts in the HT-LT sequence; the hypothesized increase in mixed sequences was only partly supported
• References to the embedded source did not differ by sequence type, ranging from 17.6% to 35% across conditions
• Embedded-source and document-source trustworthiness scores differed, suggesting an interplay between layers rather than one-layered reflection — related
• Embedded-source trustworthiness evaluations shift toward the trustworthiness of the most recent document source in mixed sequences — related
• Embedded-source trustworthiness evaluations do not change across positions when both document sources have similar trustworthiness — related
