Brockinton, Amanda (2022) Study 3 data (Chapter 6) for online eye-tracking between real and fake news (dwell time).

Participants were asked to view examples of real and fake news taken from a news fact-checking website, Snopes, and their eye movements were recorded during the process. Participants were recruited through Prolific and SONA, total sample size for study 1.1 = 29 participants, and total for study 1.2 = 25 participants, after removing poor eye-tracking data. A total of five visual images comprising of true and false news were shown to the participant, study 1.1 had three examples and study 1.2 had two examples. There were two main cultural backgrounds in focus; participants born in China or in the United Kingdom.
