Intergroup conspiracy theories are substantially different from other forms of hate speech. Read my piece based on Pummerer et al.'s (2025) appraisal model of conspiracy theories.👇
Replying to @CenterUw
While hate speech expresses explicit hostility toward derogated “inferior” outgroups, intergroup conspiracy theories are based on perceptions of threat by attributing malevolent intentions to “superior” groups. This distinction shapes the emotions and actions they elicit. 2/3

New theoretical piece from @Michal_Bilewicz in Psychological Inquiry proposes a comprehensive appraisal-based model addressing the specific roles of intergroup conspiracy theories and hate speech as distinct catalysts for prejudice, discrimination, and intergroup violence. 1/3 👇
