ABSTRACT

The current pandemic has generated many conspiracy theories (CTs). In this paper, we investigate several determinants of COVID-19 CTs using survey data from Romania. Some of our findings are consistent with those of previous studies on other CTs: low values of social integration, open-mindedness, and analytical thinking predict conspiracy thinking as well as higher levels of collective narcissism. Other findings run counter to those of prior research on CTs. We hypothesize that this might be due to the specificity of the CTs under scrutiny and related to the Romanian context.

危机时期的可疑头脑:罗马尼亚人对COVID-19阴谋论的信念的决定因素

抽象的

当前的大流行产生了许多阴谋论(CTs)。在本文中,我们使用罗马尼亚的调查数据调查了COVID-19 CT的几个决定因素。我们的某些发现与先前对其他CT的研究一致:社会融合的低价值,思想开放和分析性思维预示了阴谋思维以及更高水平的集体自恋。其他发现与先前的CT研究相反。我们假设这可能是由于接受审查的CT的特殊性,并且与罗马尼亚的情况有关。
