Recent research has found a strong connection between belief in various conspiracy theories and antisemitism in the United Kingdom. This study, detailed in the journal Contemporary Jewry, found that antisemitic attitudes toward Jewish individuals are strongly linked to beliefs in personal well-being conspiracies. Meanwhile, antisemitic views related to the State of Israel and its supporters correlate more with theories about governmental wrongdoing. The correlation between antisemitism and conspiracy beliefs is not new and has been documented in historical studies. However, limited research ha...

Conspiracy theories are traditionally thought to drive vaccination hesitancy, leading public health campaigns to focus on debunking these myths to increase vaccination uptake. However, recent research published in Social Psychological and Personality Science suggests a more complex interaction. While conspiracy beliefs about COVID-19 can indeed exacerbate hesitancy toward vaccination, the study provides stronger evidence that vaccination hesitancy itself can lead to an increase in conspiracy beliefs, suggesting a rationalization process that evolved as the pandemic progressed. “Vaccination is ...

As misinformation and radicalisation rise, it’s tempting to look for something to blame: the internet, social media personalities, sensationalised political campaigns, religion, or conspiracy theories. And once we’ve settled on a cause, solutions usually follow: do more fact-checking, regulate advertising, ban YouTubers deemed to have “gone too far”. However, if these strategies were the whole answer, we should already be seeing a decrease in people being drawn into fringe communities and beliefs, and less misinformation in the online environment. We’re not. In new research published in the Jo...

In recent research published in the journal Violence Against Women, scientists have shed light on the relationship between the belief in conspiracy theories about feminists, sexism, and the acceptance of rape myths. Their findings suggest that individuals harboring higher levels of hostile sexism are more inclined to accept rape myths, particularly when exposed to feminist conspiracy theories. This connection highlights the interplay between political predispositions, sexist ideologies, and conspiracy beliefs in shaping attitudes toward sexual violence. “Conspiracy theories can take an intergr...
