(iii) Rumors attributed to a single (not credible) friend dominated linear transmission chains. But ecological transmission chains taking into account redundancy allowed the credible friend of a friend to persist or dominate—as it seems to be the case in the wild. 4/5

Key findings: (i) Attribution to a credible friend of a friend increased a rumor’s perceived plausibility, and participants’ willingness to share it. 2/5
