一般人对复杂的因果关系只有肤浅的理解，因此往往会高估他们解释性知识的质量和深度。在这项研究中，我们研究了这种解释深度错觉（IOED）在政治中的作用-在一个人对政治现象的因果理解中膨胀的信心-支持阴谋信念。利用选举前/选举后的小组设计和在2016年总统大选背景下招募的大样本美国公民（N = 394），我们提供的证据表明，政治IOED，而不是非政治IOED，与一般和选举特定阴谋信念的支持增加有关，特别是在政治新手和失败候选人的支持者中。我们发现，这种结果模式净的影响，一个广泛的变量已知的协变与阴谋信念。理论的影响和未来研究的必要性进行了讨论。
The average person possesses superficial understanding of complex causal relations and, consequently, tends to overestimate the quality and depth of their explanatory knowledge. In this study, we examined the role of this illusion of explanatory depth (IOED) in politics — inflated confidence in one’s causal understanding of political phenomena — for endorsement of conspiracy beliefs. Utilizing a pre-/post-election panel design and a large sample of U.S. Citizens ( N = 394) recruited in the context of the 2016 presidential election, we provide evidence that political IOED, but not a non-political IOED, was associated with increased support for general and elec-tion-specific conspiracy beliefs, particularly among political novices and supporters of the losing candidate. We find this pattern of results net the influence of a broad range of variables known to covary with conspiracy beliefs. Implications for theory and the need for future research are discussed.
