What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Trust in the post, as measured by a 4-point Likert scale
Time Frame: Post-intervention (~5 minutes)
A single question is asked of "How much do you trust the information in the post?" Participants used a 4-point Likert scale from 1 (trust the information completely) to 4 (Did not trust the information). Scores range from 1-4, with higher scores indicating less trust.
Post-intervention (~5 minutes)

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Short-form Positive and Negative Affect Schedule (PANAS) Positive Score
Time Frame: Post-intervention (~5 minutes)
The Short-form Positive and Negative Affect Schedule (PANAS-SF) is a brief, 10-item psychometric tool used to assess two distinct emotional dimensions: Positive Affect (e.g., active, inspired) and Negative Affect (e.g., upset, afraid). Respondents rate each of the 10 adjectives on a 5-point Likert scale. Scores can range from 10 - 50, with higher scores representing higher levels of positive affect.
Post-intervention (~5 minutes)
Short-form Positive and Negative Affect Schedule (PANAS) Negative Score
Time Frame: Post-intervention (~5 minutes)
The Short-form Positive and Negative Affect Schedule (PANAS-SF) is a brief, 10-item psychometric tool used to assess two distinct emotional dimensions: Positive Affect (e.g., active, inspired) and Negative Affect (e.g., upset, afraid). Respondents rate each of the 10 adjectives on a 5-point Likert scale. Scores can range from 10 - 50, with lower scores representing lower levels of negative affect.
Post-intervention (~5 minutes)
