对995人的研究发现,阴谋信仰源于稳定的世界观,而不是精神压力,对情感健康驱动这种信仰的想法提出了挑战。 A study of 995 people finds conspiracy beliefs stem from stable worldviews, not mental distress, challenging the idea that emotional health drives such beliefs.

对新西兰、澳大利亚和联合王国各地995人进行的一项新研究发现,几乎没有证据表明心理痛苦导致阴谋信仰,或相信阴谋会随着时间的推移加剧痛苦。 A new study of 995 people across New Zealand, Australia, and the UK found little evidence that psychological distress causes conspiracy beliefs or that believing in conspiracies worsens distress over time. 相反,阴谋信仰似乎反映了稳定的世界观,而不是暂时的情感反应。 Instead, conspiracy beliefs appear to reflect stable worldviews rather than temporary emotional reactions. 这些调查结果基于2022年9月至2023年2月的月度调查,对长期存在的“恶性循环”理论提出了挑战,认为减少阴谋论的努力应更多地侧重于批判性思维和媒体素养,而不是仅仅解决心理健康问题。 The findings, based on monthly surveys from September 2022 to February 2023, challenge the long-held "vicious cycle" theory and suggest that efforts to reduce conspiracy thinking should focus more on critical thinking and media literacy than on addressing mental health alone.
