| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In modern societies, information has become ubiquitous and much of it is unvetted. Thus, it is crucial to understand how people make judgements about information they receive. In this research, we examined the link between critical evaluation performance, advanced Theory of Mind ability (ToM), and presentation format of information. In three survey studies, we collected data from undergraduate university students in Japan and Australia to elucidate how critical evaluation and ToM are related, and how variation of the format of information affect critical evaluation performance. Our findings revealed that people tend to make decisions away from biased information, and we obtained some evidence connecting ToM to critical evaluation performance. We also found that asking participants to consider qualities of each item of information they were presented prompted them to be more cautious in decisions they made. These findings have important implications for media education.
