A new study is shedding light on how more and more people are less likely to fall for fake information if they’ve got insightful skills when it comes to problem-solving.
The research was recently published in a journal called Thinking and Reasoning and it proves how critical of a factor insightfulness is and how often it’s overlooked.
Remember, in today’s day and age with the rise of the social media and internet world, you’re more susceptible to misinformation and it’s becoming a major concern. Authors of new research are jetting out to explore the brain’s cognitive mechanism that’s related to believing everything you see and read. And with misinformation at an all-time high, you need to be able to figure out right from wrong. In this research, the authors want to differentiate the likes of wrong from right and that’s through problem-solving.
This neural-themed study showed how the mind is a beautiful invention and it produces ideas that are so specific and comes with a few great Aha! Moments. And the authors really were on a mission to see the link between the likes of insightfulness and social reasoning like how to deal with over claims, bullshit, and even believing fake news.
This particular study entailed 61 right-handed speakers that spoke native American English and on average, they were 25 years old. Moreover, the researchers made use of Compound Remote Associate problems that gathered so much insight into how we connect three unrelated terms to find a particular theme. This issue forces some to think in a more creative manner while others just rely upon insights.
For instance, such issues end up forcing people to think in a more creative way and are really open to the likes of insights. See, when you’re faced with some huge problems, you require to reframe your thoughts and alter the starting representation of an issue to witness that in a newer light.
Solving matters through the likes of insights changes the way a matter is represented. And it produces new ideas by exploring unique paths for reasoning. In the end, what you get is the chance to better filter out distractions and focus solely on the problem’s solution. This has great benefits and it’s coming from overcrowded environments.
In conclusion, there was a positive link between both insightfulness and discernment. And those getting a higher score on their insightfulness were doing a better job to highlight fake news and differentiate statements that had great meaning.
