Title: | Belief inconsistency in conspiracy theorists | Contributor(s): | Irwin, Harvey J (author); Dagnall, Neil (author); Drinkwater, Kenneth (author) | Publication Date: | 2015 | Open Access: | Yes | DOI: | 10.2466/17.CP.4.19 | Handle Link: | https://hdl.handle.net/1959.11/18192 | Abstract: | This study investigated the relationship between conspiratorial beliefs and doublethink. Particularly, it assessed whether conspiratorial ideation (beliefs and theories) was associated with proneness to belief incoherency (doublethink). In total, 257 adults completed online survey measures. Conspiratorial ideation was positively associated with belief incoherency. Study implications and limitations are considered. | Publication Type: | Journal Article | Source of Publication: | Comprehensive Psychology, v.4, p. 1-7 | Publisher: | Ammons Scientific Ltd | Place of Publication: | United States of America | ISSN: | 2165-2228 | Fields of Research (FoR) 2008: | 170299 Cognitive Sciences not elsewhere classified | Fields of Research (FoR) 2020: | 520401 Cognition | Socio-Economic Objective (SEO) 2008: | 970117 Expanding Knowledge in Psychology and Cognitive Sciences | Socio-Economic Objective (SEO) 2020: | 280121 Expanding knowledge in psychology | Peer Reviewed: | Yes | HERDC Category Description: | C1 Refereed Article in a Scholarly Journal |
