Politically‐slanted fake news (FN)—manufactured disinformation, hoaxes, and satire appearing to present true information about events—is currently receiving extensive attention in the mainstream media. However, it is currently unclear what factors may influence an individual's likelihood to believe in FN, outside of political identity. As FN is often conspiratorial in nature and usually negative, it was theorised that conspiracist belief, and factors that have been found to relate to a conspiratorial worldview (i.e., dangerous worldview and schizotypy), may also relate to political FN.

最新消息：对假新闻和阴谋论者的信仰

具有政治偏见的虚假新闻（FN）–制造的虚假信息，恶作剧和讽刺内容似乎能够提供有关事件的真实信息–目前正受到主流媒体的广泛关注。但是，目前尚不清楚哪些因素可能会影响个人在政治认同之外相信FN的可能性。由于FN本质上通常是阴谋论的，通常是负面的，因此理论上认为，阴谋论者的信念以及已发现与阴谋论世界观相关的因素（即危险的世界观和精神分裂症）也可能与政治FN有关。
