can the opposite also be true, that people who refuse to accept true conspiracies may also be anxious to preserve their worldview, ignore contradiction, and eschew rational analysis for emotion ladden thinking? e.g. this is the popular portrayal of religious people who refuse to accept the claim their religions are massive lies made up to control and console in which case these psycological factors may just be generally indicative of people who have trouble accepting the truth when it contradicts their cherished worldview, conspiracy or otherwise on the other hand, if someone possesses this psychological makeup, and refuses to accept a certain proposition, i am not sure there is much we can conclude from this study. maybe they are being irrational, or maybe not. we would have to examine the actual reasons they reject the belief, and not rely on psychoanalysis, since if we did so it would ironically be irrational on our part
