Streszczenie

Kto wierzy w teorie spiskowe i dlaczego niektórzy ludzie są bardziej podatni na wiarę w nie niż inni? Jakie są konsekwencje tego typu przekonań? Czy jakakolwiek teoria spiskowa okazała się kiedykolwiek być prawdą?

Psychologia teorii spiskowych obala mit, jakoby teorie spiskowe były zjawiskiem nowoczesnym poprzez zbadanie szerokiego kontekstu społecznego, w jakim powstają – od polityki po miejsce pracy. W książce tej autor wyjaśnia dlaczego niektórzy ludzie są bardziej podatni na wiarę w teorie spiskowe niż inni oraz jakie procesy psychologiczne, które możemy rozpoznać i przewidzieć leżą u podstaw powstawania tego typu przekonań.

Poprzez przytoczenie przykładów takich jak zamachy terrorystyczne z 11 września i zmiana klimatu, Psychologia Teorii Spiskowych pokazuje, że, podczas gdy tego typu przekonania nie zawsze są nieuzasadnione i posiadanie ich nie jest cechą patologiczną, mogą również wyrządzać wiele szkód zarówno jednostkom jak i społeczeństwu.
