New study finds that fact-checks framed as "confirmations" (e.g., "It is TRUE that...") lead to higher engagement compared to "refutation" frames (e.g., "It is FALSE that..."). This pattern was consistent across four countries and the "confirmation" fact-checks also reduced self-reported negative emotions related to polarization. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-024-53337-0?fromPaywallRec=true #MisinfoResearch
