Abstract
This study aimed to investigate the impact of visual priming on the belief in conspiracy theories. It was hypothesized that participants exposed to conspiracy-related images would exhibit higher belief in conspiracy theories compared to those exposed to neutral images. A total of 114 students from the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences in Split participated in a randomized controlled trial. Participants were divided into an experimental group, exposed to conspiracy-related images, and a control group, exposed to neutral images. Both groups completed the Expanded Scale of General Conspiracy Theory Belief. Results indicated no statistically significant difference in conspiracy theory belief between the experimental and control groups. The findings suggest that visual priming, in the context of this study, did not significantly influence belief in conspiracy theories. Limitations include the homogeneity of the sample, predominantly female and university students, which may limit generalizability. Future research should explore the impact of visual priming using more diverse samples and varied stimuli to better understand its role in belief formation. These findings contribute to the broader understanding of the psychological mechanisms behind conspiracy beliefs and highlight the complexities involved in altering such beliefs through visual means.
Abstract (croatian)
Cilj ove studije je bio istražiti utjecaj vizualnog priminga na vjerovanje u teorije zavjere. Hipoteza je da će sudionici izloženi slikama povezanim s teorijama zavjere pokazivati veće vjerovanje u teorije zavjere u usporedbi s onima koji su bili izloženi neutralnim slikama. Ukupno 114 studenata s Filozofskog fakulteta u Splitu sudjelovalo je u randomiziranom kontroliranom ispitivanju. Sudionici su bili podijeljeni u eksperimentalnu skupinu, koja je bila izložena slikama povezanim s teorijama zavjere, i kontrolnu skupinu, koja je bila izložena neutralnim slikama. Obje skupine su ispunile Proširenu skalu općeg vjerovanja u teorije zavjere. Rezultati nisu pokazali statistički značajnu razliku u vjerovanju u teorije zavjere između eksperimentalne i kontrolne skupine. Nalazi sugeriraju da vizualni priming, u kontekstu ove studije, nije značajno utjecao na vjerovanje u teorije zavjere. Ograničenja uključuju homogenost uzorka, koji je pretežno sastavljen od žena i sveučilišnih studenata, što može drastično ograničiti generalizaciju rezultata. Buduća istraživanja trebala bi istražiti utjecaj vizualnog priminga koristeći raznovrsnije uzorke i različite podražaje kako bi se bolje razumjela njegova uloga u formiranju vjerovanja. Ovi rezultati pridonose širem razumijevanju psiholoških mehanizama iza vjerovanja u teorije zavjere i ističu složenost promjene takvih vjerovanja putem vizualnih sredstava.
