“…Such epistemically suspect beliefs 1 (ESB; Pennycook, Cheyne, Barr, Koehler, & Fugelsang, 2015;Pennycook, Fugelsang, & Koehler, 2015a) comprise a wide category which encompasses beliefs in paranormal phenomena, conspiracy theories, and pseudoscientific claims. Importantly, these beliefs are surprisingly prevalent (e.g., Jensen, 2013;Mancosu, Vassallo, & Vezzoni, 2017), and have been linked to important real-life outcomes such as negative attitudes toward vaccination (Browne, Thomson, Rockloff, & Pennycook, 2015), political extremism (van Prooijen, Krouwel, & Pollet, 2015), rejection of scientific findings , and the tendency to perceive nonsensical bullshit statements as profound and even share them on social media (Čavojová, Secară, Jurkovič, & Šrol, 2019;Pennycook, Cheyne, et al, 2015). For these reasons, it is a matter of great importance to understand the links between miscellaneous types of epistemically suspect beliefs, to uncover their individual difference predictors, and to examine their relationships with related cognitive phenomena, such as the systematic reasoning and decision-making errors studied under the heuristics and biases research tradition Stanovich, West, & Toplak, 2016).…”
