Predicted values of skill levels and probability of researching headlines. Note: Panel (A): Predicted values of skill level on six digital literacy skills taught in MediaWise for Seniors important for identifying online misinformation (Table S4). Individuals rated their own skill level on each skill from 1 to 5 where a rating of 1 represents no understanding of that skill and a rating of 5 represents full understanding. Higher values indicate greater probability of correctly judging the veracity of a given headline. Blue points represent the control group and red points represent the intervention group (i.e., those who took MediaWise for Seniors). Bars are 95% confidence intervals. Panel (B): Predicted probability of reporting doing research on a headline to inform one’s judgment of its veracity (Table S4). Higher values indicate greater probability of correctly doing research on a headline. Bars are 95% confidence intervals. This figure was made using Stata³⁸.
