Genuine question to psychologists and other social scientists here: Have you been taught/Are you teaching that when designing a study/survey you should not ask about demographic stuff first? If so, what was the explanation given to you/you give?

I’d be up for running some experiments with you on this topic if you’re up for it? We could design some bot tests and see which ones work the best? The problem is that the bots get more and more sophisticated all the time.

📊The results? 😡Bad News: 38-42% of participants interacted with the ‘fake news’ in the simulation; behaviour that in the real world would amplify its reach. 😀Good News: Amplification decreased significantly after playing a ‘fake news spotting’ game for just 45 seconds!
