There is a burgeoning literature on the role of political propaganda in political science and economics. However, the existing literature mostly focus on the general effect of official propaganda. We still know little about to what extent political propaganda works, what specific groups are convinced by political propaganda, and more importantly, who pretend to believe political propaganda or deny the truth. In the meantime, the extant research takes direct responses at face value and fails to tackle the potential social desirability bias. This paper employs the incentivized response technique and face-to-face survey data based on a representative sample of Chinese urban citizens to tackle the problem. We theorize sources of "don't know" responses and find that political pressure produces a deterring effect by inducing about 20% more respondents to identify with "don't know" options in propaganda-related questions. The effect is more pronounced among individuals with high levels of conformity.
