摘 要：随着阴谋论对社会政治的影响日益扩大，探究人们为何会相信阴谋论愈发重要。本文以政治心理学为视角，从微观、中观及宏观三个层面，总结分析了人们相信阴谋论的原因。本文认为，认知、动机与情绪等心理机制为阴谋论信念奠定了微观基础，而中观层面的群体特征以及宏观层面的情境因素则通过影响个体的心理，促使人们相信阴谋论。阴谋论信念的产生是微观、中观及宏观三个层面互动的结果。理解人们相信阴谋论的复杂原因，有助于我们制定有效的干预策略，促进政治生活的良好运转。

The Political Psychology of Conspiracy Belief: A Literature-Based Analysis
Abstract: With the growing influence of conspiracy theories on society and politics, it is increasingly important to explore why people believe in conspiracy theories. This paper reviews the literature and analyses the reasons why people believe in conspiracy theories at three levels: micro, meso, and macro, from a perspective of political psychology. The paper argues that psychological mechanisms such as cognition, motivation, and emotion provide the micro-foundations for conspiracy beliefs, while meso-level group characteristics and macro-level contextual factors contribute to conspiracy beliefs by affecting individual psychology. Conspiracy beliefs emerge as a result of the interaction between the micro, meso and macro levels. Understanding the complex reasons why people believe in conspiracy theories can help us to develop effective intervention strategies for the good functioning of politics and governance.
