- W4224144485 abstract "[THIS PAPER IS UNDER REVISION. THE FINAL VERSION IS LIKELY TO DIFFER FROM THE PREPRINT] In psychological research, conspiracy theories are often defined as explanations of events involving the hidden action of a small group pursuing a self-serving agenda, which results in two issues. First, such a definition does not distinguish between conspiracy theories and other conspiracy-based explanations (e.g., the assassination of Julius Caesar) - even though such a distinction is at the core of most attempts to define conspiracy theories. In addition, it implies that conspiracy theories are necessarily about events, whereas they can question any aspects of reality. Since research tends to focus on belief in conspiracy theories - in the common understanding of the expression - relying on such a definition may lead to erroneous theoretical inference. Based on more elaborated definitions of conspiracy theories and a conceptual re-engineering approach (Brun, 2016), we propose a new definition of conspiracy theories that distinguishes them from other conspiracy claims, and that is operative at the psychological level. We propose that conspiracy theories can be defined as claims that the public is being intentionally misled by epistemic authorities regarding some aspect of reality, to allow a group to secretly enact an unlawful, self-serving agenda. Thus, in our approach, conspiracy theories involve two interwoven conspiracies." @default.
