Important social events favor the spread of conspiracy theories through which individuals seek to understand complex situations. The spread of conspiracy theories can be partially attributed to the development of digitalization, but regardless of that, they are not a product of the modern age, because the roots of their creation go back far into the past. When it comes to believing in conspiracy theories, there are certain groups of people who are prone to the aforementioned opinions. Conspiratorial thinking is also associated with negative social consequences that can undermine permanent stability. For example, when it comes to the belief of the coronavirus in the conspiracy theory, it led to a decrease in the perception of the risk of the disease and to a decrease in responsible behavior. Accumulated research findings reveal a range of harmful behaviors with associated conspiracy beliefs that seek to be better understood through the conduct of scientific research. Looking at the numerous studies that dealt with the mentioned topic, theories were created that explain the patterns of belief in conspiracy theories. Accordingly, the conducted research sought to determine whether there are certain patterns that can explain the structure of belief in conspiracy theories, or whether factors such as gender, age, professional education, religiosity, etc., influence belief in conspiracy theories. The data collected on the sample (N=264) showed that religious people, members of the right-wing political orientation and those who believe that COVID-19 is a lie are more likely to believe in the conspiracy theory.
