The left half of the table shows the coefficients for the 3-way interaction between headline veracity, condition, and the individual difference - which captures the extent to which the individual difference moderates the treatment effect on sharing discernment. The right half of the table shows the coefficient on the 2-way interaction between headline veracity and the individual difference - which captures how the individual difference relates to baseline sharing discernment in the control condition. Results are shown separately for the more representative samples from Lucid or YouGov, versus the convenience samples from MTurk. Coefficients with p < 0.05 are bolded. No adjustments were made for multiple comparisons.
