What kind of people most often believe astrologers and conspiracy theories: a psychologist told
Astrology is one of the most ancient sciences. But modern man understands that miracles promised by the stars cannot be expected if he does not go to the goal himself.
At the same time, there are people who compare their plans with astrological forecasts and refuse to make decisions if the stars do not dictate it.
As experts have noted, horoscopes, as well as conspiracy theories, are most often believed in by representatives of a certain personality type.
If a person is seriously guided by this, it means that he really wants to relieve himself of responsibility for his life, so that later he can write it all off as the stars aligning that way, said Mikhail Khors, a candidate of psychological sciences, writer and practicing psychologist, in a conversation with the Public News Service.
Who believes?
Astroprognoses and conspiracy theories are equally widely believed by categorical people.
That is, people who divide the events that happen in their lives into simple categories.
For example: good and bad, a lot or a little, beautiful or ugly, the expert explains.
On the one hand, there is nothing wrong with this, but, as psychologists note, all of these people correspond to the category of “teenage personality”.
The most interesting thing is that their opponents are closest to them in development, who prove that astrology and conspiracy theory are all fiction.
These are the same “teenage personalities” who also divide the world into black and white.
