PAPER: Actual and Perceived Partisan Bias in Judgments of Political Misinformation as Lies

https://osf.io/preprints/psyarxiv/357fh

Paper doesn’t mention the "third person effect”, but the results directly align (+ with my newsletter theme of people being more reasonable than imagined): party affiliation produced a minimal bias on whether people judged statements as lies, but there was a large effect of how much they thought *other* people would be biased by party affiliation
