Results of Anthony & Moulding's (2019) study "Breaking the news: Belief in fake news and conspiracist beliefs.": correlations
Many predictors of beliefs in conspiracy theories correlated significantly with beliefs in fake news: congruency with political identity (PIS, LRS, LAS), dangerous worldview (DWS), normlessness (schizotypal) (DAS), randomness (WAS), conspiratorial ideation (BCTI), magical thinking (OLIFE). The findings also supported the hypothesis that people tend to believe in fake news that align with their political identity, praise one's own party, question the candiate of the opposite party (PIS) - can be explained by motivated reasoning.
