Why do so many people find conspiracy theories irresistible? In this episode of Mind Theory, we dive into the psychology behind why people are drawn to conspiratorial thinking. Based on a recent study by the APA, we’ll explore the personality traits—such as paranoia, insecurity, and impulsivity—that make some individuals more likely to believe in conspiracy theories. We’ll also look at the social and psychological motivations, from a desire for superiority over others to a heightened perception of threats. Tune in to discover what drives these beliefs and why conspiracy theories have such a strong grip on society.
