New paper out, led by @KevinWinter91, with @KaiSassenberg on believing misinformation about wind farms. Biggest predictors is not education and science knowledge, but conspiracy mentality. Over 25% of respondents from US, UK and AUS agree with more than half of the statements.

What a great way to start and end the preconference today! My take-away is that we need to be more precise in conception and definition of conspiracy belief -and have such discussions more often. thanks to all who attended & contributed today, esp @KevinWinter91& @KaiSassenberg
Starting my @easp2023krk with an exciting manel featuring @KenzoNera, @rolandimhoff, & @PolPsychKent’s Robbie Sutton on the usefulness of the idea of a conspiracy mentality wonderfully chaired by @LPummerer.
