Quotes by Jan-Willem van Prooijen
| Page | Quote | Date | Source |
|---|---|---|---|
| "Conspiracy theory/Academic research" | “they are emotional given that negative emotions and not rational deliberations cause conspiracy beliefs... One limitation... is that the field is lacking a solid theoretical framework that contextualizes previous findings, that enables novel predictions, and that suggests interventions to reduce the prevalence of conspiracy theories in society.” | 2018 | Belief in conspiracy theories: Basic principles of an emerging research domain https://doi.org/10.1002/ejsp.2530 |
| Conspiracy belief | “belief in conspiracy theories is positively associated with intuitive rather than analytic thinking. Consistently, higher education predicts lower conspiracy beliefs, a finding that is partly mediated by a tendency among the less educated to attribute agency and intentionality where it does not exist, and stronger analytic thinking skills among the higher educated.” | 2018 | Belief in conspiracy theories: Basic principles of an emerging research domain |
| Conspiracy theories/Academic research/Projection | “they are emotional given that negative emotions and not rational deliberations cause conspiracy beliefs; and they are social as conspiracy beliefs are closely associated with psychological motivations underlying intergroup conflict” | 2018 | Belief in conspiracy theories: Basic principles of an emerging research domain |
