Anxiety, illusory pattern perception and conspiracy beliefs during the Covid-19 pandemicSpasovski, Ognen ; Démuthová, Slávka ; Kuzmanovic, VesnaThis study investigated the relationship between the anxiety provoked by threatening events in society like the Covid-19 pandemic, and illusory pattern perception, with conspiracy beliefs. Using an ... experimental design, in Study 1 high vs. low anxiety was manipulated, while in Study 2 we manipulated intuitive pattern search, with the findings supporting the assumption that greater anxiety and higher intuitive pattern search lead to an increase in conspiracy beliefs. In order to prevent the detrimental effects of beliefs in conspiracy theories on the individual and societal levels, we recommend transparent information and pre-warning, as well as a focus on critical thinking in education.Source: Teorija in praksa : revija za družbena vprašanja. - ISSN 0040-3598 (Letn. 58, št. 4, okt.-dec. 2021, str. 1133–1149, 1159)Type of material - article, component part ; adult, seriousPublish date - 2021Language - englishCOBISS.SI-ID - 92193027
