Resumen:
We sought to find if the trustworthiness of Document Sources (DS) influenced the evaluation of Embedded Sources (ES). 104 undergraduates read two texts on treatments for a disease, one by a trustworthy DS and one by an untrustworthy DS. Results indicate that ES read under trustworthy DS was seen as more trustworthy and their medical recommendation was more often seen as the best. Texts from untrustworthy DS also were read for longer.
