The Psychology of Conspiracy Theories

Conspiracy theories are a widespread phenomenon in the digital age.

They thrive on feelings of uncertainty, anxiety, and dissatisfaction.

In the digital age, conspiracy theories spread rapidly through social media, fake news websites, and online forums.

Their viral nature stems from the confirmation bias, the tendency to seek out information that confirms our existing beliefs.

Conspiracy theories often provide a simple and seductive narrative that appeals to our desire for order and control.

However, they can also be harmful, as they can promote distrust, division, and even violence.
