Abstract
Science may be failing to convince a significant number of people about COVID-19 scientific facts and needed public health measures. Individual and social factors are behind believing conspiracy theories. Adults (N = 1001) were asked to rate their beliefs in various conspiracy theories circulating in social media, rate their psychological distress relating to COVID-19, rate their trust in science to solve COVID-19 problems, and rate their willingness to adhere to measures regarding social distancing and quarantine. The findings showed conspiracy theories are widely believed and related to lower age, lower education, living in less densely populated areas, and lower income. Stronger conspiracy theory beliefs predicted science mistrust and unwillingness to adhere to public health measures. Psychological state was a strong predictor of conspiracy beliefs. Recommendations, stemming from the findings, for reducing such beliefs and better serving public health are discussed.
摘要
科学可能未能说服相当一部分人相信 COVID-19 的科学事实和必要的公共卫生措施。个人和社会因素是相信阴谋论的背后原因。我们要求 1001 名成年人对社交媒体上流传的各种阴谋论的置信度进行评分，对与 COVID-19 相关的心理困扰进行评分，对科学解决 COVID-19 问题的信任度进行评分，并对遵守社交距离和隔离措施的意愿进行评分。结果表明，阴谋论被广泛相信，与年龄较小、教育程度较低、居住在人口密度较低的地区和收入较低有关。更强的阴谋论信仰预示着对科学的不信任和不愿意遵守公共卫生措施。心理状态是阴谋信仰的一个强有力的预测因素。讨论了从调查结果中得出的减少这种信仰和更好地为公共卫生服务的建议。
