Our study conceptually replicates and extends previous research, with a novel focus on political statements (rather than fake news). It also adds evidence from a Spanish-speaking country (Argentina), often underrepresented in misinformation studies.

We also found 
📌 weak (unreliable) evidence for a positive association between cognitive reflection and truth discernment. 
📌 cognitive reflection did not reliably increase partisan bias.

Interestingly, political concordance enhanced truth discernment, albeit accompanied by a shift in response bias. Partisan bias was much larger than the improvement of truth discernment with political concordance.

We found reliable evidence that:

📌 higher political concordance➡️ more overall belief (i.e. partisan bias).
📌 higher political concordance➡️ better truth discernment.
📌 higher cognitive reflection ➡️ lower overall belief (more scepticism).
