🚨New Paper Alert.🚨 (Imhoff et al., 2022; Nature Human Behavior): Are people of all political camps equally likely to endorse conspiracy worldviews (with no specific partisan conspiracy theory implied)? Or is such a conspiracy mentality tied to a specific political ideology?

[Nature Human Behaviour @NatureHumBehav]

This new paper by @rolandimhoff and colleagues looks at data from 26 countries and finds that #conspiracy mentality is more common at both ends of the political spectrum than in the center, and is particularly associated with right-wing beliefs.

Conspiracy theories bloom in periods of uncertainty and threat, where we seek explanations for big events. Whilst appealing, conspiracy beliefs can significantly impact important societal issues, such as efforts to curb the spread of COVID-19.
