  • The psychological response to crises—characterized by fear, uncertainty, and a sense of loss of control—can lead individuals to adopt conspiracy beliefs as a way to make sense of chaotic situations.
  • Once established, these conspiracy theories can evolve into historical narratives, influencing how people remember and interpret major events over time.

https://t.co/j5iOrPCC2h 陰謀論と歴史についての論文。 陰謀論はいつでもどこでも存在する。例としては古代ローマ皇帝ネロについての噂など。 災害や戦争など、社会的危機が陰謀論を増加させる。 社会的危機が人々の不安や恐怖をかきたてる。 陰謀論は人々の不安や恐怖を鎮めてくれない。
