Of tinfoil hats and thinking caps: Reasoning is more strongly related to implausible than plausible conspiracy beliefs

Michael Hattersley et al.

Summary: People who strongly endorse conspiracy theories tend to exhibit biases in reasoning. Specifically, the endorsement of implausible conspiracy theories is associated with reduced information sampling and less reflective reasoning, suggesting an adaptive response to the tension between implausible theories and other beliefs and data. In contrast, plausible conspiracy theories do not show the same association with reasoning biases.

Summary: In recent years, there has been growing concern over the spread of false information on social media.

By shifting attention to accuracy, the quality of news that people share can be improved, challenging the belief that people prioritize partisanship over accuracy.
