Frustration of social needs and the resulting feelings of loneliness are particularly important motives in the development of conspiracist worldviews in the mid-life, especially loneliness in adolescents https://doi.org/m5fx

what a vicious cycle not only does being lonely propagate conspiracist views, but many conspiracies require you altering a more fundamental worldview that can further alienate you

People with poor social life are usually bad at dealing with people and handling different viewpoints. I can see how convenient it is to fall into conspiracies while having not much trust in day-to-day life

As a lone wolf, I think the caste of subterranean gnomes who is behind every world event is also behind this study.

This is an incredibly serious problem that is not getting the attention it deserves. Loneliness and loss of community are already having devastating consequences and will likely get much worse. Thanks for sharing this. 1000 $degen

interesting, one'd think that both would be comorbid in any "one who walks away from omelas" scenario (i.e. there's bandwagoning whether or not the conspiracy is real b/c defection is common w/ this culture). from an evolutionary standpoint, this is almost the perfect setup for a steady rotation of outcasts that find deviant pathways to undiscovered resources, as the main resource management is abundant enough to be seen as a conspiracy.

That totaly makes seens to me. But What I have been quite puzzled about for some time is that many of my acquaintances with university degrees and/or at least a high level of education (often those with above-average incomes) are jumping on the bandwagon of conspiracy theorists and usually get very deeply entangled in their theories quite quickly... With them, it is usually impossible to have a factual discussion about, for example, politics (left or right, good or bad). I also experience in my family, which is scattered around the world, an increasingly racist attitude towards people who are fleeing or simply hoping for a better future... Can someone please explain this to me? We live in the 21st century where there are so many exciting developments in technology and medicine.... Why are we so afraid of strangers??? Please excuse me if this was not entirely related to the article ;)
