- More about Conspiracy Beliefs as Coping Behavior: Life Stressors, Powerlessness, and Extreme Beliefs
The book explores the reasons why individuals adopt conspiracy beliefs and thoughts of violence, using a survey of 977 US citizens to compare thirteen demographic characteristics to extreme beliefs and evaluating a three-step psychological sequence.

Publisher: Lexington Books
This book offers fresh insights into the complex dynamics of conspiracy beliefs and violent ideation. It explores five specific conspiracy beliefs: Government Malfeasance, Malevolent World Power, Extra-terrestrial Cover-up, Personal Well-being Threat, and Control of Information. Through a comprehensive survey of 977 US citizens, the book delves into the demographic characteristics associated with extreme beliefs. It then delves into a three-step psychological sequence, examining how individuals experiencing intense life stressors, coupled with feelings of powerlessness, are at heightened risk for embracing extreme beliefs. This psychological sequence provides a sense of understanding, strength, and community, which may explain why individuals turn to conspiracy theories in times of distress. The book's findings contribute to our understanding of the factors that contribute to conspiracy beliefs and violent ideation, offering valuable insights for policymakers, mental health professionals, and society as a whole.
