- Perception of a source’s intention, whether informative or deceptive, influences our judgment about the truthfulness of a claim.
- This influence persists even when we have clear knowledge of the factual accuracy of a claim.
- Discrepancies in attributed intentions to information sources could lead to disagreements with others about the truth of claims even when we share the same set of facts with them.
