Conspiracy theories and well-being
Theme: Mental health in a digital age
Type of research: Qualitative, quantitative, and mixed-method approaches are possible.
Description: Conspiracy theories flourish in our current post-truth era. One of the puzzles academics try to solve is why some people tend to believe in conspiracy theories. In this project, it would be nice to construct and text a model of possible determinants. In the model, psychological traits, trust variables, intrinsic characteristics of conspiracy theories, and well-being related factors can be included.
