The psychological research to date suggests that people are attracted to conspiracy theories when important psychological needs are unsatisfied. The first of these are epistemic needs. Specifically, people are looking for knowledge and clarity about important events. Indeed, research shows that people are more likely to believe in conspiracy theories under conditions of uncertainty. The second set of needs is existential. Specifically, people need to feel secure and in control of their surroundings, and research indeed shows that people who feel that they lack agency and power are more likely to believe in conspiracy theories. The final set of needs is social. That is, people need to maintain a positive image of themselves and the groups they belong to. Some evidence to support this is that people who experience a strong need to feel unique compared to others tend to show greater belief in conspiracy theories.

We weren’t even discussing CT.....

Just the fact that so many can’t control themselves. Or they don’t even believe that the virus is that big of a deal.

Normalcy bias.... there are several doctorates in there if you can figure out how to break that cycle.

True, you can often see this demonstrated in this very thread.

Interesting...

Morning! Mississippi is still not posting daily numbers due to issues with the Dept of Health's "legacy software". I call horse shit. Pick tbe phone up and TALK to the people who report by computer. then type the numbers onto the website and BAM, the numbers are reported.

The people that are thinking this is a hoax are all chirping about how the software conveniently goes down so they can dig up more cases to report. Then the people on the other side of the fence are clutching their pearls saying it's because the numbers are so high they don't want to scare the herd. Having worked closely with the dept of health, I understand that it's a mixture of ancient computers and pure incompetence that's causing the problems.

For those of you that do Facebook, go to the Mississippi State Department of Health page and read the comment. It's a good study in human behavior.....and is some quality entertainment!

Bless their hearts.

Thanks leafbro!

the "father in law" one of my daughters lifetime best friends (i love her like my own) went into the hospital with covid yesterday early morning. Died 22 hours later.

I agree.

Let the "sophisticated urbanites" face the consequences of their shit choices.

Are they covered by medical insurance? do they trust western medicine?

The coronadojo calls us in
Sensei is unforgiving
kills many students.

All of these needs are likely to be heightened in times of crisis, such as the COVID-19 pandemic. Whether or not these needs are satisfied by believing in conspiracy theories is another matter, though, and research suggests that believing in conspiracy theories is not a very good coping mechanism. To give one example, instead of increasing feelings of power, conspiracy theories seem to make people feel more powerless.

Found out this morning I have another infected nephew.

This one lives in El Paso, Texas.

Le sigh ..........

Native Americans are fully covered by medicaid from the US govt. Some also have group plans through their tribe.

If they chose not to use western medicine, that is their liberty.

"To give one example, instead of increasing feelings of power, conspiracy theories seem to make people feel more powerless."

More horseshit from you.

Conspiracy is fact, back to 8ES with you Cass Shitstain.

Hugs and prayers.

The COVID-19 pandemic has generated threats and stressors that are shared by a very large number of people living in different cultural contexts across different scales of analysis (e.g., both between societies and within-society). Although this threat unites humankind, it also highlights inequalities and foregrounds some culturally-shaped ways to respond while deemphasizing and devaluing others. While it highlights our common identity as vulnerable humans, it also fans the flame of negative cultural representations of minority groups and generates cultural conflict.
