According to research, the factors that lead to recognizing misinformation is the amount of education a person has and the information literacy, or media literacy, they have. This means if a person is more familiar with the content and process of how the information is researched and presented, or is better at critically evaluating information of any source, then they are more likely to identify misinformation. Increasing literacy may not lead to improved ability to detect misinformation, as a certain level of literacy could be used to "justify belief in misinformation". Further research reveal that content descriptors can have a varying effect in people in detecting misinformation.
