Jeffrey Kluger article “I know the truth, So Don’t Bother Me With Facts” explains how humans can be easily deceived by rumors.
He reveals A research that was conducted at Ohio State university that determines how lies are believed and how can you change a person’s opinion on believing them.
Professor R. Kelly and Erik Nisbet’s study showed Kluger how easy people can change their beliefs by a simple picture or a quote. He also realized how people were ready to change their beliefs with contradicting evidence.
Kluger states that Garret’s studies showed the recruits information that contradicts what they thought was true, and they respond by "sticking to their biases even more strongly." Which shows how us humans don't like to be told when we're wrong.
Jeffrey Kluger advises us that regardless of the studies made, it depends on how we process facts and how we make decisions on the information we receive.
