Frontiers in psychology

van Bommel M, van Prooijen JW, Elffers H, Van Lange PA.
PMID: 26903929
Front Psychol. 2016 Feb 11;7:128. doi: 10.3389/fpsyg.2016.00128. eCollection 2016.

People help each other less often and less quickly when bystanders are present. In this paper, we propose that alcohol consumption could attenuate or reverse this so-called bystander effect. Alcohol impairs people cognitively and perceptually, leading them to think...

Hynds RJ, Cowley SW, Sanderson TR, Wenzel KP, VAN Rooijen JJ.
PMID: 17792145
Science. 1986 Apr 18;232(4748):361-5. doi: 10.1126/science.232.4748.361.

During the encounter with comet Giacobini-Zinner, the energetic particle anisotropy spectrometer on the International Cometary Explorer spacecraft observed large fluxes of energetic ions, believed to result principally from ionization of the cometary atmosphere followed by pickup and acceleration by...

PMID: 28163371
Appl Cogn Psychol. 2017 Jan-Feb;31(1):50-58. doi: 10.1002/acp.3301. Epub 2016 Nov 28.

People with high education are less likely than people with low education to believe in conspiracy theories. It is yet unclear why these effects occur, however, as education predicts a range of cognitive, emotional, and social outcomes. The present...

Hydrocephalus, a rare manifestation of sarcoidosis.

Clinics and practice

van Rooijen JM, Mijnhout GS, Aalders TT, de Bondt RB.
PMID: 24765327
Clin Pract. 2011 Sep 30;1(3):e66. doi: 10.4081/cp.2011.e66. eCollection 2011 Jul 01.

A 36-week-pregnant woman developed a symptomatic hydrocephalus. Chest imaging showed bihilar lymphadenopathy and histological examination of a mediastinal lymph node revealed non-caseating granulomas. After delivery, her neurologic complaints progressed. Placement of a ventriculoperitoneal drain (VPD) did not reduce the...

Connecting the dots: Illusory pattern perception predicts belief in conspiracies and the supernatural.

Eur J Soc Psychol. 2018 Apr;48(3):320-335. doi: 10.1002/ejsp.2331. Epub 2017 Sep 25.

A common assumption is that belief in conspiracy theories and supernatural phenomena are grounded in illusory pattern perception. In the present research we systematically tested this assumption. Study 1 revealed that such irrational beliefs are related to perceiving patterns...

This paper seeks to understand the association between ratees' relational justice perceptions and their feedback acceptance, both directly and through leader-member exchange (LMX). The paper also examines the moderated mediation effect of supervisory trust. The paper presents the findings...

Soc Justice Res. 2021 Sep 28;1-19. doi: 10.1007/s11211-021-00376-x. Epub 2021 Sep 28.

Conspiracy theories are widespread and have a profound impact on society. The present contribution proposes that conspiracy theories are explanatory narratives that necessarily contain justice judgments, as they include attributions of blame and accusations of unethical or criminal conduct....

Is the label 'conspiracy theory' a cause or a consequence of disbelief in alternative narratives?.

British journal of psychology (London, England : 1953)

Douglas KM, van Prooijen JW, Sutton RM.
PMID: 34921399
Br J Psychol. 2021 Dec 17; doi: 10.1111/bjop.12548. Epub 2021 Dec 17.

Using the label 'conspiracy theory' is widely perceived to be a way of discrediting wild ideas and unsubstantiated claims. However, prior research suggests that labelling statements as conspiracy theories does not reduce people's belief in them. In four studies,...

The entertainment value of conspiracy theories.

British journal of psychology (London, England : 1953)

van Prooijen JW, Ligthart J, Rosema S, Xu Y.
PMID: 34260744
Br J Psychol. 2021 Jul 14; doi: 10.1111/bjop.12522. Epub 2021 Jul 14.

Many citizens around the globe believe conspiracy theories. Why are conspiracy theories so appealing? Here, we propose that conspiracy theories elicit intense emotions independent of emotional valence. People therefore find conspiracy theories entertaining - that is, narratives that people...

First Light Measurements of Capella with the Low-Energy Transmission Grating Spectrometer aboard the Chandra X-Ray Observatory.
