Gorman. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 520 $a "This chapter addresses the complicated topic of conspiracy theories. This topic is complicated because a conspiracy theory is not prima facie wrong. Yet one of the hallmarks of false scientific beliefs is the claim by their adherents that they are the victims of profiteering, deceit, and cover-ups by conglomerates variously composed of large corporations, government regulatory agencies, the media, and professional medical societies. The trick is to figure out if the false ones can be readily separated from those in which there may be some truth. Only by carefully analyzing a number of such conspiracy theories and their adherents does it become possible to offer some guidelines as to which are most obviously incorrect. The chapter then studies the psychology of conspiracy theory adherence. It argues that belittling people who come to believe in false conspiracy theories as ignorant or mean-spirited is perhaps the surest route to reinforcing an anti-science position"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Social medicine. 650 0 $a Science $x Methodology. 650 0 $a Skepticism. 650 0 $a Belief and doubt. 650 0 $a Denial (Psychology) 700 1 $a Gorman, Jack M., $e author. 776 08 $i Online version: $t Denying to the grave $d New York : Oxford University Press, 2021. $z 9780197547472 $w (DLC) 2020054637 941 $a 3 952 $l PQAX094 $d 20231214043354.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20230706013547.0 952 $l FXPH314 $d 20220909064531.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=82B673986DF511ECB33FF4E951ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
