Existing research has shown that both the COVID-19 pandemic and the Russian invasion of Ukraine have spawned a surge in conspiracy theories. However, there is a notable gap in academic research concerning the interconnection between these two sets of conspiracy theories. Our preregistered representative survey study conducted in Hungary (N = 1000) investigates the interconnections between conspiracy theories about COVID-19 and the war in Ukraine, and the moderating role of trust, conspiracy mentality, political preference, and socio-demographic variables in this relationship. Hungary, a nation marked by exceptionally high levels of tribal polarization, and plagued by pervasive disinformation presents an ideal case for examining the polarizing nature of conspiracy theories. Contrary to the prevailing notion that a generalized mistrust links unrelated conspiracy theories, the research finds that specific, logically unrelated conspiracy theories can be horizontally connected to each other. We found that conspiracy theories about COVID-19 and vaccines were strongly related to conspiracy theories about the Russian invasion of Ukraine. This relationship persists independently of party preference, and neither mistrust in media nor Conspiracy Mentality can explain this relationship. Surprisingly, trust in domestic media positively predicted war-related conspiracy beliefs. These results, even if correlational, raise the possibility that conspiracy theories about COVID-19 (which preceded the invasion of Ukraine in February 2022) could serve as a "gateway theory," leading to the acceptance of war-related conspiracies. Our findings, in line with some previous research on “gateway theories” and the monological nature of conspiracy theories, suggest that communication interventions should address specific narratives rather than solely focusing on the “root cause” such as mistrust in institutions – which not always go hand in hand with conspiracy theorizing. Furthermore, building trust in official sources may worsen the problem in contexts where mainstream media spreads conspiracy theories. Thus, a nuanced, context-sensitive communication approach is essential in combating conspiracy theories effectively.}, year = {2023}, orcid-numbers = {Krekó, Péter/0000-0002-4751-4717; Orosz, Gábor/0000-0001-5883-6861; Faragó, Laura/0000-0003-1243-7296; Zsila, Ágnes/0000-0002-8291-5997} } @CONFERENCE{MTMT:34001269, title = {Growth Mindset Intervention Among Hungarian Engineering Students}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/34001269}, author = {Salamon, János and Orosz, Gábor}, booktitle = {ICPS 2023 Poster Brochure}, unique-id = {34001269}, year = {2023}, pages = {161}, orcid-numbers = {Salamon, János/0000-0002-4005-7090; Orosz, Gábor/0000-0001-5883-6861} } @CONFERENCE{MTMT:34001262, title = {Specific Supervisor Behaviors that Meaningfully Influence Team Members’ Training Transfer}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/34001262}, author = {Salamon, János and Orosz, Gábor}, booktitle = {Programme of Leadership conference 2023}, unique-id = {34001262}, year = {2023}, orcid-numbers = {Salamon, János/0000-0002-4005-7090; Orosz, Gábor/0000-0001-5883-6861} } @article{MTMT:33781845, title = {Adult-focused Sharenting Does not Pay Out: Sharenting in Sponsored Posts Elicits Negative Ethical Attitudes if the Product is Adult-related, but not When it is Child-related}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/33781845}, author = {Buvár, Ágnes and Orosz, Gábor}, doi = {10.1080/13527266.2023.2208122}, journal-iso = {J MARKETING COMM}, journal = {JOURNAL OF MARKETING COMMUNICATIONS}, unique-id = {33781845}, issn = {1352-7266}, year = {2023}, eissn = {1466-4445}, orcid-numbers = {Buvár, Ágnes/0000-0001-9856-9251; Orosz, Gábor/0000-0001-5883-6861} } @article{MTMT:33691196, title = {A prosocial fake news intervention with durable effects}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/33691196}, author = {Orosz, Gábor and Paskuj, Benedek and Faragó, Laura and Krekó, Péter}, doi = {10.1038/s41598-023-30867-7}, journal-iso = {SCI REP}, journal = {SCIENTIFIC REPORTS}, volume = {13}, unique-id = {33691196}, issn = {2045-2322}, abstract = {The present online intervention promoted family-based prosocial values—in terms of helping family members—among young adults to build resistance against fake news. This preregistered randomized controlled trial study is among the first psychological fake news interventions in Eastern Europe, where the free press is weak and state-sponsored misinformation runs riot in mainstream media. In this intervention, participants were endowed with an expert role and requested to write a letter to their digitally less competent relatives explaining six strategies that help fake news recognition. Compared to the active control group there was an immediate effect ( d = 0.32) that persisted until the follow-up four weeks later ( d = 0.22) on fake news accuracy ratings of the young, advice-giving participants. The intervention also reduced the bullshit receptivity of participants both immediately after the intervention and in the long run. The present work demonstrates the power of using relevant social bonds for motivating behavior change among Eastern European participants.

Do we use our reasoning abilities to convince ourselves that statements that align with our ideology are true, or does reasoning allow us to effectively differentiate fake from real regardless of political ideology?” These were the questions of Pennycook and Rand (2019), and they are more than actual three years later in Eastern Europe (especially in Hungary) in the light of the rise of populism, and the ongoing war in Ukraine – with the flood of disinformation that follows. In this study, using a representative Hungarian sample ( N = 991) we wanted to answer the same questions—moving one step forward and investigating alternative models. We aimed to extend the original research with the examination of digital literacy and source salience on media truth discernment. Most of the observations of Pennycook and Rand were confirmed: people with higher analytic thinking were better at discerning disinformation. However, the results are in line with the synergistic integrative model as partisanship interacted with cognitive reflection: anti-government voters used their analytic capacities to question both concordant and discordant fake news more than pro-government voters.
