From: Time pressure reduces misinformation discrimination ability but does not alter response bias

Figure 2

Accuracy (in percentages) for true and false news headlines across the two treatments. The small coloured dots represent the mean accuracy of each individual. The boxplots show the median value and the IQR. The whiskers indicate an additional 1.5 IQR and the small black dots represent outliers. The large coloured dots represent the aggregate mean with standard errors. The density plots describe the distribution of the data. Under time pressure, accuracy was reduced for both true and false headlines (negative slope of dashed lines). In other words, time pressure reduced discrimination ability. Time pressure did not, however, alter the response bias: Accuracy for both true and false news decreased at an equal rate under time pressure.
