This paper investigates the potential of mindfulness and meditation to help consumers better detect fake news by improving their attention. The research includes two studies: a correlational study showing that regular meditation practice and dispositional mindfulness are associated with lower susceptibility to fake news, and an experimental study using eye-tracking to find that a brief meditation induction improves attention but does not reduce perceived credibility of fake news. The findings suggest that while mindfulness may enhance attention, it does not necessarily alter the perceived credibility of fake news.
