This study aims to compare local (i.e., trial-by-trial) and global (i.e., overall awareness of one’s ability or more general performance) metacognition (sensitivity and bias) of discernment of true and false political and health claims. It also aims to examine how these measures differ across demographics, such as partisanship, age, gender, education, and alternative medicine endorsement. We will examine peoples’ ability to determine the veracity of true and false political and health claims, as well as their local and global estimates of this ability.
