Sinopsis

Using a survey of 977 US citizens, this book explores who? and why? individuals sometimes adopt conspiracy beliefs. The authors evaluate a three-step psychological sequence in which individuals experiencing intense life stressors, combined with powerlessness, have increased risk for extreme beliefs, which they argue is due to cognitive coping.
