Note. Hypotheses are numbered H1–4 (primary hypothesis in bold; see text for details); subscripts FIS, TIS, FBR, and TBR refer to false-claim and true-claim inference scores and belief ratings, respectively. Conditions are NE no-exposure; CO claim-only; FCO fact-check-only; CFC claim-plus-fact-check. aindicates statistical significance (for secondary contrasts: after Holm-Bonferroni correction)
