Аннотация
В психологии еще в недостаточной степени разработан конструкт конспиративистской ментальности. Цель статьи — описать теоретические основания построения конструкта конспиративистской ментальности поколений и сформировать ее теоретическую модель. Определена центральная категория теории — вера; основные понятия — вера в заговоры, убеждения, конспиративистские установки. Сопоставлены различные точки зрения на понятие «вера в заговоры» историков, культурологов, лингвистов, психологов. Выявлены признаки, определяющие понятие: суженность образа мира, иррациональность, несистемность, секретность, мифичность, пластичность, социально конструируемое, предубежденность, объяснительная схема. Соотнесены по смыслу смежные понятия: конспиративистские установки, убеждения, мышление, интерпретации, мировоззрение, культура. Время, ситуация, личностные характеристики — это факторы, на которые опирались ученые, строя модели конспиративистского мышления, убеждений, веры в заговоры. Проанализированы имеющиеся модели конспиративистского мышления, убеждений, веры в заговоры. Гипотетически определены 4 шага принятия на веру информации о заговоре: восприятие, эмоциональная оценка, принятие / отторжение, оценка последствий. Исходя из этапов принятия на веру информации о заговоре, синтезированы 4 вида конспиративистской ментальности: готовый — установка принять заговор; устойчивый — отклоняющий веру в заговоры; ищущий — стремящийся определить истинную реальность заговора; результативный — озадаченный последствиями заговора в парадигме веры или неверия в заговоры. Предварительная эмпирическая проработка конструкта, с применением новой авторской методики измерения конспиративистской ментальности на 423 респондентах — студентах ростовских вузов, позволила определить двухфакторную модель конспиративистской ментальности и выявить возможность наличия смешанных типов конспиративистской ментальности. Первый фактор объединил устойчивый и готовый виды, а второй фактор — результативный и ищущий. Планируется в дальнейшем провести эмпирическую проверку теоретической модели.
