The Fundamental Attribution Error may aid in explaining conspiracy ideas.
Part of our propensity for believing in conspiracy theories may be due to a social psychological bias that coincides with our distaste for random events. The propensity to think that the actions of others are intentional rather than the result of external events is known as Fundamental Attribution Error. As a result, when things happen randomly or unintentionally, we may feel compelled to seek a purposeful explanation. This might conceivably contribute to the development of conspiracy ideas.
