Note. Hypotheses are numbered H1–6 (primary hypothesis in bold; see text for details); subscripts FISi/d, TISi/d, FBRi/d, and TISi/d refer to false-claim and true-claim inference scores and belief ratings in immediate and delayed tests, respectively. Conditions are NE no-exposure; COi/d claim-only with immediate/delayed test; FCOi/d fact-check-only with immediate/delayed test; CFCi/d claim-plus-fact-check with immediate/delayed test. aindicates statistical significance after Holm-Bonferroni correction. bindicates an effect in the opposite of hypothesized direction
