The review's synthesis of twelve studies of interest and sourcing found that "only three... identified a statistically significant relationship between interest and sourcing". This weak empirical backing contrasts with the prominence of interest in the IF-MT stance profiles.

"Of the 12 studies addressing the relationship between interest and sourcing, only three (List, Stephens, & Alexander, 2019; Strømsø et al., 2010; Tarchi, 2019) identified a statistically significant relationship between interest and sourcing."

The review reports that "two studies (Kang et al., 2011; Westerwick, 2013) examined task values in relation to sourcing, both finding a statistically significant relationship"; in Westerwick's study, task values predicted the ability to discriminate between high-, medium-, and low-credibility sources among 574 undergraduates.

"two studies (Kang et al., 2011; Westerwick, 2013) examined task values in relation to sourcing, both finding a statistically significant relationship."
