Hi all, I am conducting a survey of people’s belief and attitudes regarding conspiracy theories: https://us.psytoolkit.org/c/3.4.0/survey?s=VkUHX

I find that the existing research on conspiracy theories is done by researchers who believe the theories are false, and hence the quality of the surveys is low. For instance, despite being very well-informed truther, I score only 3.4/5 on the General Conspiracist Beliefs Scale. The goal of the survey I came up with is to identify which kinds of conspiratorial beliefs cluster together. For instance, what constellation of beliefs are you likely to hold if you believe JFK faked his death as opposed to being assassinated by a second shooter. Or likewise for if you believe the COVID virus doesn’t exist, as opposed to believing it is a bioweapon. The survey can be done regardless of which theories you personally believe, or whether you consider yourself a conspiracy theorist.

The survey consists of 100 questions about both specific conspiracy theories, and general attitudes about the world. Demographic questions are included but are optional. It should take around 15 minutes to complete. I am currently writing up the report and the data analysis, but looking to collect more responses for greater reliability. You can also read a short description of the purpose of the survey on my blog: https://overduerevolutions.wordpress.com/2022/05/16/survey-on-conspiracist-beliefs-and-attitudes/
