Abstract

Beliefs in cover-ups take the perspective of conspiracy theories. This study examined demographic, ideological, and work-related attitudes (disenchantment, equity sensitivity) and ideas about events being covered up. Over 500 working adults completed a number of questionnaires including beliefs about official cover-ups and conspiracies (CT), workrelated disenchantment, sensitivity to equity, personal demography as well as religious and political beliefs. CT and Work Disenchantment measures both had a good internal reliability. Correlations and regressions showed that sex, education, ethnicity and political beliefs, as well as a sense of entitlement and disenchantment at work, predicted beliefs in coverups. Facets of work disenchantment, particularly perceptions of organisational hypocrisy and personal disrespect at work were significantly related to the belief in cover-ups. Research implications and limitations are acknowledged.

掩盖和阴谋论:人口统计学，工作祛魅，公平敏感性，以及对掩盖的信念

对掩盖事实的信仰采取了阴谋论的观点。这项研究调查了人口统计、意识形态和与工作相关的态度(觉醒、公平敏感性)以及对事件被掩盖的看法。超过500名在职成年人完成了一系列调查问卷，包括对官方掩盖和阴谋(CT)的看法，与工作有关的觉醒，对公平的敏感性，个人人口统计以及宗教和政治信仰。CT测量和工作祛魅测量均具有良好的内部信度。相关性和回归分析表明，性别、教育、种族和政治信仰，以及工作中的权利意识和觉醒意识，都预示着人们对掩盖事实的信念。对工作的失望，特别是对工作中组织虚伪和个人不尊重的看法，与相信掩盖行为有很大关系。研究的意义和局限性是公认的。El encubrimiento y las teorías de conspiración: datos demográficos, decepción en El trabajo, sensibilidad和la equidad y creencias en El encubrimiento
