The efficacy of interventions in reducing belief in conspiracy theories: A systematic review

Cian O'Mahony et al.

Summary: Conspiracy beliefs have gained increasing attention from behavioural researchers. Despite the harmful consequences associated with holding conspiracy beliefs, little research has focused on systematically reviewing methods to reduce them. In a systematic review of 25 studies (total N = 7179), we found that while the majority of interventions were ineffective in changing conspiracy beliefs, some interventions were particularly effective. Interventions that fostered an analytical mindset or taught critical thinking skills were found to be the most effective. Our findings are important for future research in combating conspiracy beliefs.

Countering conspiracy theory beliefs: Understanding the conjunction fallacy and considering disconfirming evidence

Lindsay M. Stall et al.

Summary: Research suggests that belief in conspiracy theories may be influenced by various cognitive processes, such as pattern perception and confirmation bias. Additionally, understanding the probability of events and considering disconfirming evidence may also play a role in conspiracy theory beliefs. Both studies found that correcting errors in pattern perception and considering disconfirming evidence can be effective methods in changing conspiracy theory beliefs.

Engaging with conspiracy theories: Causes and consequences

Kai Sassenberg et al.

Summary: Psychological research on conspiracy theories has made significant progress, but there are still limitations. Future research should consider different forms of conspiracy beliefs, rely on experimental methods to draw causal conclusions, increase studies with high external validity, focus on cognitive processes underlying conspiracy beliefs, and study methods for interventions.

How to activate intuitive and reflective thinking in behavior research? A comprehensive examination of experimental techniques

Ozan Isler et al.

Summary: Comparing intuitive and reflective decisions can provide insights into human behavior. In a large-scale experiment, different techniques were compared for their effects on cognitive performance. Long debiasing training was found to be the most effective technique for activating reflection, while emotion induction was the most effective for activating intuition.

Individual differences in epistemically suspect beliefs: the role of analytic thinking and susceptibility to cognitive biases

Jakub Srol

Summary: The endorsement of epistemically suspect beliefs is widespread, with factors such as probabilistic reasoning biases, analytic thinking, religious faith, and political liberalism consistently predicting these beliefs. However, belief bias in syllogistic reasoning is mainly associated with pseudoscientific beliefs. Further research is needed to examine the role of biased evaluation of evidence in the endorsement of epistemically suspect beliefs.

Who believes in conspiracy theories? A meta-analysis on personality correlates

Lukasz Stasielowicz

Summary: This article presents a three-level meta-analysis that synthesizes the existing literature on the relationship between personality traits and conspiracy theories. The findings suggest that individuals who believe in pseudoscience, suffer from paranoia or schizotypy, are narcissistic or religious/spiritual, and have relatively low cognitive ability are more likely to believe in conspiracy theories. The article also discusses the implications of these findings for developing tailored interventions.

Does deliberation decrease belief in conspiracies?

Bence Bago et al.

Summary: The underlying cognitive mechanisms behind belief in conspiracies are still not well understood. Previous perspectives suggested that deliberation reduces belief in proven false conspiracy theories. However, existing evidence is largely correlational and causal evidence may be influenced by experimental demand effects and a lack of suitable control conditions. Recent research indicates that analytic thinking does not always lead to accurate conclusions. The results of two studies suggest that the effect of deliberation on conspiracist beliefs is more complex than previously thought.

Intuition, reason, and conspiracy beliefs

Jabin Binnendyk et al.

Summary: Conspiracy belief is linked to an overreliance on intuition and a lack of reflection. People may believe conspiracies partly because they fail to engage in analytic thinking and rely too much on their intuitions. However, there is a lack of experimental studies in this area and further research on underlying cognitive mechanisms is needed.

Introducing conspiracy intuitions to better understand conspiracy beliefs

Russell Roberts et al.

Summary: Belief in conspiracy theories results from a combination of intuitive and deliberative cognitive processes, and is characterized by a subjective sense that an event or circumstance is not adequately explained or accounted for by existing narratives, potentially for nefarious reasons. Efforts to combat conspiracy theories could benefit from strategies that attend to the intuitive properties of the proto-beliefs that precede them.

Conspiracy Beliefs and Violent Extremist Intentions: The Contingent Effects of Self-efficacy, Self-control and Law-related Morality

Bettina Rottweiler et al.

Summary: This study examines the impact of conspiracy beliefs on violent extremist intentions and finds that individual characteristics such as self-efficacy, self-control, and law-relevant morality can influence this relationship. Stronger conspiracy mentality is associated with higher violent extremist intentions, particularly for individuals with lower self-control, weaker law-relevant morality, and higher self-efficacy. Conversely, individuals with stronger conspiracy beliefs but high self-control and strong law-relevant morality have lower violent extremist intentions. These findings have important implications for the assessment and management of violent extremism risks, calling for further exploration of conditional effects of specific risk and protective factors.

Furkan Tosyali et al.

Summary: This study examined the associations between cognitive thinking style, religiosity, and superstitious beliefs, finding that individuals with lower analytical thinking tendencies were more likely to hold superstitious beliefs. While no significant relationship was found between intrinsic religiosity and belief in superstitions, the negative relationship between analytical thinking and superstitious beliefs was more apparent in individuals with low to moderate levels of intrinsic religiosity.

Resolving the Puzzle of Conspiracy Worldview and Political Activism: Belief in Secret Plots Decreases Normative but Increases Nonnormative Political Engagement

Summary: Belief in conspiracies tends to decrease intentions to participate in normative, legal forms of political engagement but increase intentions to employ nonnormative, illegal means of political articulation. This suggests that political extremism and violence may be a logical conclusion for individuals who see the world as governed by secret plots.
