A recent experimental study conducted by LIRNEasia in Sri Lanka explored people’s ability to accurately assess the truthfulness of information — and found that this ability varies significantly depending on the topic. The study focused on three types of information: climate, economic, and ethno-religious issues. Participants were asked to classify 12 climate-related cue cards as true, mostly true, mostly false, or false. This classification process was carried out in three phases over the course of the study. In the first phase (baseline evaluation), participants arrived at the test center and were asked to classify 40 cue cards, which included the climate-related cards.
