Implications of the impact of negation

So far, the data from Jaffé and Greifeneder (2020a) indicate that negation is another important piece of the puzzle on how individuals proceed when forming judgments of truth. Again, negation could be used in a manipulative manner when communicating fake news and post-truth information. A false statement could contain a negation to appear more credible and to systematically lead individuals to judge the information as true. In a protective fashion, again, individuals could carefully investigate whether the negation to them appears plausible. Why is a certain piece of information presented in a negated way? What if individuals simply reframe the item without the negation? Does it sound different?
