Abstract: A 2×2+1 design experiment was conducted, in which the credibility of postevent information (Low Credibility vs. High Credibility) and the salience of misleading words (Salient vs. Nonsalient) were independent variables, with a control group without misleading information. Fifty-seven male students saw a film, and after 20 min read misleading postevent information (the experimental groups only), followed by multiple recognition tests. Contrary to previous studies, the main effects of credibility was not significant in terms of acceptance of misleading information. While nonsalient misleading information was more effective than salient one when credibility was low, the trend was reversed when credibility was high.
