Povzetek

Med pandemijo covida-19 so ljudje soočeni z veliko količino (ne)preverjenih informacij, pri čemer se različni komunikacijski kanali med seboj razlikujejo tudi po tem, da lahko nekateri širijo lažne informacije in teorije zarot. Med posamezniki pa se razlikuje tudi stopnja dovzetnosti za teorije zarot. Ker lahko tako nagnjenost k teorijam zarot kot izbor virov informacij vodita v (ne)upoštevanje (javno) zdravstvenih priporočil in spodkopavanje znanstvenih dognanj, je raziskovanje navedenih področij še
toliko pomembnejše za čim učinkovitejše naslavljanje infodemije v celostnih prizadevanjih za zajezitev pandemije. V naši raziskavi nakazana negativna povezanost med pogostostjo uporabe uradnih zdravstvenih in vladnih institucij kot virov informacij o covidu-19 ter nagnjenostjo k teorijam zarot, negativna povezanost med pogostostjo uporabe tradicionalnih medijev in nagnjenostjo k teorijam zarot ter neznatna pozitivna povezanost med pogostostjo uporabe družbenih omrežij in nagnjenostjo k teorijam zarot kot edina pozitivna povezanost v naši študiji zato predstavljajo pomembne informacije za strokovnjake s področja javnega zdravja in komuniciranja.
