Bauer, Ioanna Constantiou, and Daniel Hardt — and published in MIS Quarterly (yes, that’s one of the elite FT50 journals!) on September 1, 2025, Volume 49, Issue 3.💡 Their research doesn’t just ask if people can spot falsehoods; it asks something sharper: can we teach people to reason through evidence—discursive evidence—rather than rely on those blunt “true” or “false” flags scattered across social media?🌐 Through their experiments, the authors reveal that evidence with real heft changes how people judge both true and false claims—almost like handing someone a new lens to see through the fog of misinformation. But sometimes that lens distorts, and that’s where it gets fascinating.So here’s the big question we’ll wrestle with today — 🕵️‍♀️When we learn to question news through reasoning instead of rules, do we become wiser… or simply more confident in our illusions?A huge thanks to Abayomi Baiyere, Jan M. Bauer, Ioanna Constantiou, and Daniel Hardt — and to the Association for Information Systems for publishing this work in such a prestigious FT50 journal. 🙌🎧 Don’t forget — subscribe to Revise and Resubmit on Spotify, follow our YouTube channel Weekend Researcher, and tune in through Amazon Prime or Apple Podcast.
