# Idea
People's [[analytic thinking style]], as measured by the [[cognitive reflection test|CRT]], is associated with truth discernment.
[[Pennycook 2019 fighting misinformation using crowdsourced judgments]]:
$discernment \sim CRT + ideology + CRT \times ideology$
All three coefficients are significant:
- Higher CRT predicts greater media source discernment.
- Democrats can better discern high/low-quality sources.
- Interaction: Positive association between CRT and discernment was stronger for Democrats than Republicans.
These effects hold after controlling for different covariates.
