Cynicism, low self-worth, uncertainty, powerlessness correlate with conspiracy belief.

Anxiety makes people to accept the conspiracy. many conspiracies are scary and attract attention. An important trait among conspiracy theorists is paranoia. They believe the threats they face are personally invasive than is reasonable.
