This study examined the influence of user fact-checking and people’s trust in misinformation on the effectiveness of misinformation correction provided by a peer. A lab quasi-experiment was conducted. Participants received misinformation about weight loss methods and were given autonomy to decide whether to seek additional information online, followed by a subsequent misinformation correction. Information verification and trust in misinformation were positively related to resistance to correction, even when people’s predisposition towards effortful thinking and gender were included in the model. People who tried to verify the information and trusted the misinformation were not more likely to resist misinformation correction than those who did not fact-check and trusted the misinformation. Further, intention to share was positively associated with levels of trust in misinformation.
