Conspiracytheories
Conspiracy theories are traditionally thought to drive vaccination hesitancy, leading public health campaigns to focus on debunking these myths to increase vaccination uptake. However, recent research published in Social Psychological and Personality Science suggests a more complex interaction. While conspiracy beliefs about COVID-19 can indeed exacerbate hesitancy toward vaccination, the study provides stronger evidence that vaccination hesitancy itself can lead to an increase in conspiracy beliefs, suggesting a rationalization process that evolved as the pandemic progressed. “Vaccination is ...

As misinformation and radicalisation rise, it’s tempting to look for something to blame: the internet, social media personalities, sensationalised political campaigns, religion, or conspiracy theories. And once we’ve settled on a cause, solutions usually follow: do more fact-checking, regulate advertising, ban YouTubers deemed to have “gone too far”. However, if these strategies were the whole answer, we should already be seeing a decrease in people being drawn into fringe communities and beliefs, and less misinformation in the online environment. We’re not. In new research published in the Jo...

In recent research published in the journal Violence Against Women, scientists have shed light on the relationship between the belief in conspiracy theories about feminists, sexism, and the acceptance of rape myths. Their findings suggest that individuals harboring higher levels of hostile sexism are more inclined to accept rape myths, particularly when exposed to feminist conspiracy theories. This connection highlights the interplay between political predispositions, sexist ideologies, and conspiracy beliefs in shaping attitudes toward sexual violence. “Conspiracy theories can take an intergr...

A series of three studies revealed that individuals with pronounced psychological entitlement were more likely to have visited non-essential venues such as buffets, spas, and casinos during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, and that these risky behaviors were related to heightened belief in conspiracy theories. The new research was published in the Journal of Social Psychology. Conspiracy theories are beliefs that suggest significant events or situations result from secret, often malevolent, plots by groups or individuals. They typically contest the official narrative provided by authoritative so...
