Conspiracy Theories, Schizotypy, & Dark Triad Traits | What is a Conspiracist?
This video answers the questions: What is a conspiracist? Is there a relationship between belief in conspiracy theories, the Dark Triad Traits, and schizotypy?
There is no single agreed-upon definition for a conspiracy belief, which makes studying the phenomenon somewhat difficult. Here are two definitions that appear in the research?
1. The unnecessary assumption of conspiracy when other explanations are more probable.
2. An unverified and relatively implausible allegation of conspiracy, claiming that significant events are the result of a secret plot carried out by a preternaturally sinister and powerful group of people.
Over 50% of Americans believe in at least one conspiracy theory.
