Confidence graphs

Caption

Confidence in judgment and confidence in general show opposite relationships with accuracy discernment. Shown in the top graph is the average perceived accuracy rating of true and false headlines as a function of the participant's confidence in that specific accuracy judgment, relative to the user's average confidence across headlines; and, on the bottom, the participant's confidence in their general abilities. Error bars indicate 95% confidence intervals clustered on subject and headline.
