2.1.4. Procedure
The participants completed the questionnaires via the Surveystar platform in a neutral and calm environment. During the pretest (Day 1), participants first completed a survey on their demographic information and then completed various self-reported questionnaires to measure their ability to recognize misinformation and the persuasive intent of misinformation.In the posttest (Day 2), based on the last digits of their phone numbers, the participants were allocated to the priming group (odd digits) or the control group (even digits). Immediately after priming (priming group) or no activity (control group), all participants completed the same self-reported measures present in the pretest again. In the follow-up (after one week), the participants were asked to complete the same battery of tests once more.
