✨Exciting news - new publication in Mass Communication and Society! ✨ 📑 In this study, we examine how people process, think about, and respond to (mis)targeted political ads by conducting a large thought-listing experiment (N = 1,196). 🪡 A little thread to highlight our key findings.

Question for AI researchers: what scale do you use to ask in a survey experiment whether participants think the AI generated stimulus is credible/trustworthy/whether it is AI or not? #measurement #AI #askingforafriend 😉
