Participants’ endorsement of COVID-19 conspiracy theories was assessed with an adapted version of a measure previously used to assess conspiracy beliefs related to the HIV and Ebola pandemics [31, 75]. Participants rated their agreement with four statements (e.g., “There is a cure for COVID-19, but the government isn’t telling us.”) on a scale from 1 = strongly disagree to 5 = strongly agree. Scores across the items were averaged such that higher scores are indicative of higher endorsement of COVID-19 conspiracy theories (alpha = 0.90).
