The study found that prior belief consistency and source expertise significantly influenced perceived credibility of health-related social media posts, while evidence quality had minimal impact. Crowdsourcing platform choice also affected credibility evaluations of inaccurate posts.

Methods: Researchers created social media posts with manipulated source characteristics, claim accuracy, and evidence quality. Participants evaluated the credibility of these posts via crowdsourcing platforms after having their prior topic beliefs assessed.

Key Findings: The perceived credibility of health-related social media posts based on source characteristics, evidence quality, prior beliefs, and the platform used for data collection.
