With the emergence of the phenomenon that misinformation is difficult to correct, exploringthe possible reasons for it is beneficial to reduce the negative influences. This study examined the effectsof metacognitive reflection on the CIEM and the moderating effect of information relevance through anexperimental method. The results found that: (1) metacognitive reflection can influence the process ofinformation correction, and the lack of accurate metacognitive reflective appraisal will lead to the CIEM;(2) information relevance plays a moderating role in the effect of metacognitive reflection on the CIEM,and the prediction of this effect is significant under high relevance information. This study providesevidence and reference for future targeted correction of misinformation and reduction of the negativeeffects of the CIEM.
