尽管阴谋论在社会上被污名化，但它仍然是互联网上公众辩论的一个常见话题。这些讨论的内容和语气为了解阴谋论信仰体系的结构以及那些相信和不相信阴谋论的人的心理特征提供了有用的见解。在这篇重点综述中，我们将在线评论中发现的行为模式与阴谋论心理学的更广泛研究文献联系起来。最值得注意的是，由于阴谋论的基础是不相信主流或公认的叙述，而不是相信一个特定的替代方案，大多数阴谋论的论点往往落在同样的路线上。最后，我们研究了这种方法对未来在线讨论研究的影响，特别是在难以研究的人群中。
In spite of the social stigma surrounding them, conspiracy theories are a common topic of public debate on the Internet. The content and tone of these discussions provide a useful insight into the structure of conspiracist belief systems and the psychological characteristics of those who believe and disbelieve in conspiracy theories. In this focused review, we relate patterns of behavior found in online comments to the broader research literature on the psychology of conspiracy theories. Most notably, as conspiracism has its basis in disbelieving a mainstream or received narrative rather than in believing a specific alternative, most conspiracist arguments tend to fall along those same lines. Finally, we examine the implications of this methodology for future research into online discussion, particularly among hard-to-research populations.
