Polish researchers have found that belief in conspiracy theories can negatively impact an individual’s mental health, particularly by fostering paranoid thoughts.
The researchers employed a combination of longitudinal and experimental methods to investigate the impact of conspiracy beliefs on paranoid thoughts over time.
The study was published in Applied Psychology: Health and Well-Being .
Participants were randomly assigned to one of two conditions: the conspiracy condition or the control condition.
Zuzanna Molenda : “We do not suggest that exposure to conspiracy theories is the common or ultimate cause of paranoia” She says those who are more prone to paranoid thoughts, for example, may be particularly susceptible to the adverse psychological effects.
Molenda says future research should be conducted carefully considering ethical issues they may raise.
