Annotation

This study unveils that trustworthiness and message confidence perceptions are important forecasters of credibility perceptions about climate change, above and beyond knowledge on human-caused climate change. These results denote that perceptions about information sources may considerably affect credibility judgments and, accordingly, learning about polemic and/or abstract notions.
