Anti-vaccine conspiracy beliefs can reduce vaccine intentions, but can vaccine hesitancy also increase conspiracy beliefs? Our new paper explored whether fear can increase vaccine hesitancy, making conspiracy beliefs more appealing. (Hint: Yes) Read doi.org/10.1080/088704… 🔓🧵

I had the most amazing experience presenting my research in to a group of remarkable conspiracy researchers. I was completely blown away by their expertise, knowledge & dedication to their work. So grateful to have my incredible supervisor there also, thank you Dan #easp2023krk

At the #easp2023krk conspiracy preconference yesterday, @annafmaughan also presented her PhD research on emotions and conspiracy theories. Her first international conference talk and she absolutely smashed it 👌🏻. #proudsupervisor

Anna Maughan @annafmaughan investigated how exposure to a conspiracy theory impacts anxiety, anger & health behaviours | Exposure to a conspiracy theory incorrectly suggesting Big Pharma hid cancer cures led to increased anger and anxiety and this impacted on health intentions

I took a break from marking papers and catching up on PhD work today to enjoy a full day with just me and Teddy George 🥰 sometimes it’s so hard doing a PhD and teaching while having a toddler but I hope when he’s older he knows I did it all for him❤️#phdlife

Anna Maughan tells us about medical conspiracy theories. Trait anger and anxiety correlate positively with belief in medical conspiracy theories. #NUpsychUGconf2022 @annafmaughan

Calling an idea a "conspiracy theory" doesn’t actually do much to reduce people's belief in it. Instead, people tend to use the label for ideas they already consider unbelievable. digest.bps.org.uk/2022/03/02/lab…
