3.1.5. Statistical Analysis
All analyses were conducted using SPSS version 26.0 and PROCESS version 3.5. A mixed-measures ANOVA was used to test the differences in the ability to recognize misinformation and the persuasive intent of misinformation between the control and intervention groups across all time points. Parallel mediation models were used to test the mediating effect of persuasion knowledge (posttest) and perceived threat (posttest) on the relationship between groups and the ability to recognize misinformation (posttest).
