In a recent study published in Applied Psychology: Health and Well-Being, researchers have found that belief in conspiracy theories can negatively impact an individual’s mental health, particularly by fostering paranoid thoughts. This groundbreaking research provides clear evidence that exposure to conspiracy theories can lead to suspicions about others’ intentions and fears of being observed or intentionally harmed. Although previous studies have linked conspiracy beliefs to societal and psychological issues, there has been limited research on their direct impact on mental health. In their ne...

Project Rescue Children (PRC) claims to have rescued hundreds of children around the world from human traffickers. But an intensive investigation by the BBC casts major doubts on this claim. Reporter Hayley Mortimer found that multiple PRC stories—including one involving a baby "saved from traffickers"—appear to have been false and that several of the rescue centers it was supposedly fundraising for didn't exist. PRC called the BBC's allegations "completely without merit, misleading and defamatory." But the BBC's story appears deeply reported, with Mortimer having physically traveled to allege...

Conspiracy theories are often seen as the domain of the paranoid and mistrustful, but new research suggests a deeper, more evolutionary reason for why some people are more inclined to believe in them. A recent study published in the journal Evolutionary Behavioral Sciences found that people who grew up in stressful environments are more likely to hold conspiracy beliefs. This connection appears to be linked to certain personality traits collectively known as the Dark Triad. The researchers propose that believing in conspiracies might be an adaptive response shaped by early life experiences. Co...

A series of ten studies has shown that scientific literacy reduces belief in conspiracy theories. Improving people’s ability to assess evidence through increased scientific literacy makes them less likely to endorse such beliefs. The key aspects of scientific literacy contributing to this effect are scientific knowledge and scientific reasoning. The research findings were published in the Journal of Consumer Research. Conspiracy beliefs are beliefs that certain events or situations are the result of secret plots by powerful groups or individuals, rather than by chance or acknowledged causes. I...
