摘要

政治知识是功能代议制民主的基石，但相信阴谋论会破坏这种联系，并可能对民主产生危险后果。专家和政客们推测了错误信息和阴谋论的因果关系，但没有任何工作专门研究是什么导致了拉丁裔人对阴谋论或错误信息的信仰。在2020年大选前对得克萨斯州拉丁裔进行的一项独特调查中，我们发现对阴谋论的信仰与对唐纳德·特朗普的支持以及对西班牙语媒体和社交媒体的更大依赖最为相关。研究结果强调了阴谋思维在特定种族群体中的表现，以及在西班牙语媒体中对抗这些信仰的必要性。

Conspiratorial thinking in the Latino community on the 2020 election

Political knowledge is the cornerstone of a functional representative democracy, but belief in conspiracy theories disrupts that connection and may be dangerous with consequences for democracy. Pundits and politicians have speculated about the cause and effect of misinformation and conspiracy theories, but no work has examined what causes beliefs in conspiracy theories or misinformation among Latinos specifically. In a unique survey of Texas Latinos prior to the 2020 election, we find belief in conspiracy theories is most related to support for Donald Trump and greater reliance on Spanish-language media and social media. The results highlight how conspiratorial thinking manifests in specific ethnic groups and the need to counter those beliefs in Spanish-language media.
