I'd explore this for use with my students, as well as spend more time on media literacy, if I were still teaching high school health and science.

I found this interesting given that I've found similar results in my own work: "taking the perspective of a character fighting as opposed to spreading misinformation is more effective on some outcome measures." I may write up a longer summary of this study on my newsletter.
