Predictors and Persistence of Belief Change in Response to Scientific Evidence: A Replication and Extension of Anglin (2019)
Research-assisted source review
- What it supports
- Beliefs shifted in response to evidence and the change remained the next day. Belief-inconsistent and stronger evidence often produced more change; perceived evidence quality and scientific certainty were consistently associated with updating.
- Where it may not transfer
- Follow-up lasted one day, samples came from one online recruitment source and topics were limited. Some planned contrasts were inconclusive, and associations with perceived quality do not establish what caused belief change.
