Participants’ blap judgments are more influenced by sources that are politically like-minded. (a) Participants were more likely to change their minds about blaps when sources that were (i) more accurate at the blap task and (ii) more politically like-minded disagreed with them than when sources that were random at the blap task or dissimilar disagreed with them. (b) A mediation model revealed that the relationship between political similarity and source influence was mediated by perceived accuracy on blap task. Error bars represent SEM. ⁺p < .10, ^*p < .05, **p < .01, ^***p < .001.
