Such disambiguation efforts are necessary because interpreting findings in terms of conviction versus plausibility judgements can lead to divergent conclusions (e.g., about the rationality of conspiracy believers). In Study 1, most (76.9%) participants who reported complete (dis)agreement with specific conspiracy theories considered that the available evidence definitively proved their position. They also reported being relatively knowledgeable about conspiracy theories—more so than undecided participants—a pattern replicated in Study 2. In Study 3, agreement was more strongly associated with veracity (<i>r</i> = 0.92) than plausibility (<i>r</i> = 0.82) assessments. These findings suggest that extreme scores on agreement scales primarily capture convictions but that such scales capture both constructs. Finally, the absence of moderation by subjective knowledge for robust correlates of conspiracy beliefs in Study 2, together with the strong intercorrelations in Study 3, suggests that these conceptual distinctions might have limited empirical implications and do not fundamentally question the validity of past research. That said, future research should acknowledge the heterogeneity of self-reported conspiracy beliefs when interpreting findings and designing measures.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":48377,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of Social Psychology","volume":"56 2","pages":"385-401"},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2026-03-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147570154","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In three experiments in Germany and the United States, participants evaluated identical research reports that varied only in the intergroup context—racial (Blacks/Whites) or ideological (liberals/conservatives)—and in which group appeared cognitively superior. Leftists/Liberals consistently rated studies favouring liberals over conservatives as more methodologically sound, less biased and more worthy of pursuit than parallel studies reporting Whites outperforming Blacks. Only White US conservatives (but not German rightists or Black US conservatives) showed a ‘mirror image’ pattern. Although both ideological groups’ research evaluations aligned with ideological in-group favouritism, only left-leaning participants tuned their evaluations to what they deemed socially acceptable research.

We argue that the erosion of academic freedom is not a byproduct of illiberalism, but a core objective in the broader effort to reshape democratic institutions and science policy. Drawing on theories linking personal psychological processes to political instability and recognizing the ideological and pragmatic aspects of political decisions, we advance four propositions for safeguarding academic freedom and building democratic resilience: (1) resisting illegitimate pressures and overcoming self-censorship to maintain the scope of enquiry; (2) sustaining open, critical dialogue within academia to preserve intellectual quality and institutional resilience; (3) balancing scientific enquiry with principled advocacy to defend both rigorous scholarship and ethical responsibility and (4) engaging with the public to counter disinformation and foster trust in science.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":48377,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of Social Psychology","volume":"56 2","pages":"309-315"},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2026-03-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/ejsp.70049","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147566935","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
