Metrics that might useful (on the grounds that in hindsight people would say that they made bad decisions): traffic accident rate, deaths due to smoking, bankruptcy rates, consumer debt levels.
Experiments you could do if you could randomly sample people and get enough of their attention: simple reasoning tests (e.g. confirmation bias), getting people to make some concrete predictions and following them up a year later.
Maybe something measuring people’s level of surprise at real vs fake facebook news (on the grounds people should be more surprised at fake news) ?
My five minutes thoughts worth.
