- Orchinik, Rand & Bhui (2026) — The Not So Illusory Truth Effect: Source Credibility and the Effect of Repetition on Belief — Large preregistered experiments (N=4,947 and N=2,484) showing the illusory truth effect (repetition increasing belief) is substantially moderated by source credibility; proposes credibility-based inference model predicting that repetition should signal falsity for non-credible sources.
- Orchinik, Bhui & Rand (2025) — Replicability and generalizability of the repeated exposure effect on moral condemnation of fake news — Registered report replicating Effron & Raj (2020) with 100-headline set showing repeated exposure reliably reduces moral condemnation of sharing falsehoods (β = −4.66); tests whether accuracy prompts moderate effect (inconclusive), finding effect robust even without explicit accuracy priming.
