DOI: 10.1037/ppm0000371 Bilingual education and writing skillsĪ lack of English writing instruction provided in the Spanish language makes it difficult for Spanish-speaking elementary students to learn to write in English, suggests research in the Journal of Educational Psychology.
In addition, participants who viewed humorous COVID-related memes thought more deeply about the content, as measured by self-report questions, and had greater confidence in their ability to cope with the stress of the pandemic than people who viewed non-COVID-related content or the control. Participants who viewed a meme compared with the control reported higher levels of humor and positive emotions, and these levels were indirectly related to a decrease in stress regarding the COVID-19 pandemic. They then randomly assigned participants to view three kinds of memes or a control featuring text with no image. Researchers asked 748 online participants in December 2020 how often they felt anxious in the past month.

A final pair of studies with 776 online participants indicated that low-conscientious conservatives’ sharing of erroneous information was not tied to factors such as time spent using social media, belief in the untrue story, or support of a particular political figure instead it was driven by a desire to create chaos. Two additional studies with 1,446 online participants showed that conservatives who shared misinformation did so regardless of fact-checker warnings. In a pair of studies, researchers measured 972 online participants’ conscientiousness and found that low conscientiousness is the primary factor in conservatives’ propagation of misleading stories about COVID-19 and the 2016 U.S. Research in the Journal of Experimental Psychology: General suggests that while both liberals and conservatives are prone to sharing fake news, conservatives scoring low on measures of conscientiousness are more likely than liberals or more conscientious conservatives to share misleading information.
