Their conclusions don't excite me, and theorising about the reasons doesn't help. I'd like to see a few comparison studies showing the bell curves by:
- age
- IQ
- reading speed
- concentration
- bias
- activism
- non-social-media surfing time
For example, the people I would expect to see rank highly for fake news sharing:
- a person with low reading speed and either a significant bias towards the conclusion or low concentration
- a low-iq non-activist (less likely to have read up on the subject)
- a person who only surfs social media
Of course, between these categories the data will have its own correlations (age + low eyesight, iq + surfing patterns, etc) and so I'd want to see the data both with and without correcting for those correlations too.
I don't know how surprising this data would be - once all the correlations are corrected for, I imagine the graph would look pretty flat.
