- 01J8S6JH4XH0M3MF8F6JXXQJ2V abstract "People are more likely to believe information to be true if they have encountered it before. Research on this truth-by-repetition effect (TBRE) typically only considered one's native language. In five experiments (N = 1,344), we examined the TBRE in multilingual contexts (Belgium, Spain, United States, Mexico). We found that the TBRE emerges in the nonnative language and is as strong as the TBRE in the native language. Furthermore, we found a "cross-language" TBRE: repetition increases the subjective truth even if the language changes between repetitions, and this cross-language effect is as strong as the effect within the same language, be it in a nonnative or the native language. Theoretically, these results support TBRE accounts based on a conceptual mechanism. Practically, the results highlight the pervasive potential of the TBRE in a globalized world where many people consume information in different languages. General Audience Summary The phenomenon that repetition increases the believability of both correct and incorrect information is well-established in the literature and of high societal relevance in today's age of misinformation. Remarkably, research on this so-called truth-by-repetition effect largely neglected the reality that in today's globalized world many people consume information in other languages than their native language. We examined the truth-by-repetition effect in multilingual contexts across five experiments. Our experiments confirmed the existence of a foreign-language truth-by-repetition effect; repetition consistently increases the subjective truth of information in a nonnative language. Furthermore, we also demonstrated the existence of a cross-language truth-by-repetition effect; repetition increases the subjective truth of information, even if the language changes between repetitions. Importantly, we found that the foreign-language and cross-language truth-by-repetition effect equals the effect within the same language. Theoretically, our experiments indicate that the effect of repetition on beliefs about truth are not "shallow" effects at the perceptual level, but changes beliefs about truth on the conceptual level. Practically, the results highlight the potential pervasiveness of repetition on beliefs about truth in a globalized world where more than half of the world population is bilingual and consumes (mis)information in multiple languages.".
