20.500.12556/RUL-138740 Anxiety, illusory pattern perception and conspiracy beliefs during the Covid-19 pandemic Tesnoba, iluzorno zaznavanje vzorcev in verovanja v zaroto med pandemijo Covid-19 This study investigated the relationship between the anxiety provoked by threatening events in society like the Covid-19 pandemic, and illusory pattern perception, with conspiracy beliefs. Using an experimental design, in Study 1 high vs. low anxiety was manipulated, while in Study 2 we manipulated intuitive pattern search, with the findings supporting the assumption that greater anxiety and higher intuitive pattern search lead to an increase in conspiracy beliefs. In order to prevent the detrimental effects of beliefs in conspiracy theories on the individual and societal levels, we recommend transparent information and pre-warning, as well as a focus on critical thinking in education. V študiji smo raziskali razmerje med tesnobo, ki jo sprožijo nevarni družbeni dogodki, kot je pandemija COVID-19, in iluzornim zaznavanjem vzorca – s teorijami zarote. Z uporabo eksperimenta smo v študiji 1 manipulirali z visoko proti nizki tesnobnosti, medtem ko smo v študiji 2 manipulirali z intuitivnim iskanjem vzorcev. Naše ugotovitve podpirajo domnevo, da višje ravni tesnobe in višje intuitivno iskanje vzorcev vodita do povečanja verovanj v zaroto. Da bi preprečili škodljive učinke verovanj v teorije zarote na individualni in družbeni ravni, priporočamo transparentno informiranje in predhodna opozorila, poleg tega pa posvečanje kritičnemu mišljenju v izobraževanju. societal events anxiety intuitive pattern search illusory pattern perception conspiracy beliefs Covid-19 pandemic teorije zarot družbena percepcija Covid19 duševne motnje true false true Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Članek v reviji 2022-08-11 12:57:41 2022-08-11 12:57:43 2022-09-15 04:17:07 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2021 0 0 Str. 1133–1149, 1159 št. 4 Letn. 58 okt.-dec. 2021 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova NiDoloceno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 2021-12-31 616.89-008.441:159.937.3:616-036.22 0040-3598 10.51936/tip.58.3.1333-1149 92193027 Spasovski_Anxiety,_illusory_pattern_perception_and_conspiracy_beliefs_during_the_Covid-19_pandemic.pdf Spasovski_Anxiety,_illusory_pattern_perception_and_conspiracy_beliefs_during_the_Covid-19_pandemic.pdf 1 46AC1CDBD703DD0AFBF6B629D1E17B9D 23cf2669e992778e9bc3618f20c414a3579c1a2c3483ee8b4819f3b9df711830 58ad0ad3-1964-11ed-8aca-00155dcfd717 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=159171 Fakulteta za družbene vede 0 0 0
