| Resumo: | This work examines whether a debiasing intervention using a debiasing tool would prove effective in tackling confirmation bias regarding Covid-19 vaccination. The experiment was conducted through a questionnaire which included measures of attitudes, different texts for the debiasing intervention and the control group, as well as two measures of the effectiveness of the intervention. The results showed that the intervention was ineffective and there was no observed change in the level of confirmation bias among the participants. |
