Abstract

This study investigated the relationship between conspiratorial beliefs and doublethink. Particularly, it assessed whether conspiratorial ideation (beliefs and theories) was associated with proneness to belief incoherency (doublethink). In total, 257 adults completed online survey measures. Conspiratorial ideation was positively associated with belief incoherency. Study implications and limitations are considered.
