Talk:Motivation and emotion/Book/2020/Conspiracy theory motivation

Sub-heading suggestion
Hi, really interesting topic you have chosen! I think it could be interesting to talk about what type of people are more likely to believe in conspiracy theories, maybe something about the different personality types if there is any research!--U3187486 (discuss • contribs) 11:47, 6 October 2020 (UTC)

COVID-19 suggestion
COVID-19 conspiracy theories could make a really good case study for this topic. Jtneill - Talk - c 00:24, 27 August 2020 (UTC)

Feedback
This is a really interesting topic. Within the overview the sentence 'The parties responsible for such deceptions usually include groups with ill intentions or groups more powerful in nature.' seems to be very factual and i would suggest adding a reference here if you can. I would also suggest linking the conspiracy theories to other wikipedia pages. It might be interesting to assess the maintenance of conspiracy theories. For example how the social motives end up reinforcing members to continue to believe the theory.--U3187381 (discuss • contribs) 10:54, 17 October 2020 (UTC)

Suggestion for a few ideas to be covered
I did a few edits of your 'what is a conspiracy' section, I hope that's ok. I think you could discuss some major conspiracy theories that stemmed from large events such as 9/11, the Kennedy assassination and walking on the moon and how even those these had simple easy explanations, such large conspiracy theories were born. Also how people respond to having a conspiracy theory that they believe in disproven. Good luck! --U3201178 (discuss contribs) 05:38, 14 October 2020 (UTC)

Hi there, I believe that chapter would benefit from an interactive learning feature. I think this would engage the audience more. I think this chapter would also benefit from a feature box at the top of the page for focus questions. This will allow your views to quickly find the important information the chapter will hold.
