According to this account, people generally wish to avoid spreading misinformation and, in fact, are often able to tell truth from falsehood; however, they nonetheless share false and misleading content because the social media context focuses their attention on factors other than accuracy (e.g., partisan alignment). In support of this inattention-based account, recent findings showed that most participants were surprisingly good at discerning between true and false political news when asked to assess "the accuracy of headlines"-yet headline veracity had very little impact on participants' willingness to share the headlines on social media. Study 1 tested for a dissociation between accuracy judgments and sharing intentions when participants evaluated a set of true and false news headlines about COVID-19.	./cache/cord-354306-zbkgabl2.txt	./txt/cord-354306-zbkgabl2.txt
