Fig. 7: Relating vaccine conspiracy beliefs to paranoia and task behaviour.
From: Paranoia and belief updating during the COVID-19 crisis

We assayed the COVID-19 vaccine conspiracy beliefs of individuals (n = 403) to investigate the underlying relationships to behaviour. a, Individuals with higher paranoia endorsed more vaccine conspiracies (r = 0.61, P < 0.001). b, COVID conspiracy beliefs were correlated with erratic task behaviour (r = 0.44, P < 0.001). c, Perturbed volatility priors (r = 0.34, P < 0.001). Analysis was performed on individuals who responded to COVID vaccine conspiracy questions. The shaded regions represent the 95% confidence interval.
