Mr. Hart seems to have doubted that there are an increasing number of people accepting and accepting the claim of obviously pitted Q as it is. Although there have been studies about "the tendency to believe conspiracy theory", Mr. Hart cooperated with the student in cooperation with the student and said "it is whether to believe the conspiracy theory" and personal Investigate how the personality factors are related. I asked if I believe in conspiracy theory with psychology questionnaire for more than 1,200 American adults.

As a result of the investigation, people who believed in conspiracy theory had a temperament called " schizophy " in common. Schizophotype is a "schizophrenia tendency" when it is translated directly into Japanese, but it is not a meaning that she suffers from schizophrenia but it is one of the factors that form a personality to the last. A person with a high Schizophy tends to trust other people relatively, have a biased ideology, and have an unusual sensibility.

According to Mr. Hart's research, conspiracy theorists are always concerned that "the world is dangerous" and often think that "various signs" in front of you are leading to confusion in the imminent world I understood. Also, compared with those who do not believe in conspiracy theory, there is a strong tendency for conspiracy theorists to judge that there is something deep meaningful to a sentence that has no meaning at all.

In addition, a conspiracy theorist with high Schizophyte had a tendency to look at randomly moving triangles on the computer's monitor and to assume that there was some intention. In other words, those who believe conspiracy theory tend to have a high schizophytype and tend to speculate on various things "meaning and motivation that no one thought."

People tend to believe something including religion, psychologically, to think about things in the direction that makes themselves and the world better, and to achieve positive goals. However, most conspiracy theories are "to find confusion and malice in the world". Mr. Hart argues that those who believe in conspiracy theory tend to be attracted to "confusion and malice." Sensitivity different from ordinary people is also one of the characteristics of people with high schizophyte.

Mr. Hart claims that "High Schizophyte can be found from President Trump 's official statement and action, he can also be said to be a person who believes conspiracy theory is easy to believe." For example, Mr. Hart pointed out that from the episode that President Cardinus told his son "Do not trust anyone under any circumstances" at the kindergarten, he sees aspects that he does not trust others, I will.

Mr. Hart said, "Our research is to understand why conspiracy theorists are fascinated by conspiracy theory and not to mention whether the conspiracy theory is true or not We need it. "
