Popis: In the present experiment, we test whether bad news (of the same type) is systematically more influential than good news, specifically in three ways - sharing inclinations, believability, and inclination to act in accordance with the news. Moreover, we explore mechanisms underlying the effect of news valence on believability, and whether this effect weakens for news headlines that are perceived as less personally relevant
