This is why research on misinformation is crucial.
In the real world, misinformation is often linked to harmful beliefs—from anti-science beliefs to outright violence!

🚨 pub day! we have a new paper out at the APSR on misinformation and vigilantism
we show that debunking misinfo not only changes misinformed beliefs, but also reduces support for extra-judicial violence in both india & pakistan
(joint work w @simonchauchard.bsky.social and Niloufer Siddiqui)

It took seeing adult bullies to understand that my childhood bullies didn’t even really want to hurt me, they just wanted to feel powerful and how I felt about it wasn’t even in the equation.
