Abstract
El objetivo de este texto es el estudio de la relación entre el uso de redes sociales digitales y el grado en que la población apoya varias teorías de la conspiración referidas al contexto español. Los resultados muestran una asociación entre un mayor grado de uso de redes sociales y un mayor grado de apoyo a las teorías de la conspiración en al menos 3 de las 4 teorías consideradas. El análisis multivariante ha encontrado en todos los casos que, además del uso de redes sociales digitales, múltiples variables sociodemográficas, políticas y psicosociales intervienen en esta relación y de una manera específica en cada caso. Se concluye que este es solo un primer resultado que necesita de varias matizaciones y futuros estudios que profundicen en la naturaleza de esta asociación.
This work examines the relationship between the use of social networks and the extent to which populations support certain conspiracy theories, within the context of a Spanish region. Results suggest an association between a higher level of social network use and an increased degree of support for at least 3 of the 4 considered conspiracy theories. Multivariate analysis also reveals that social networking is significant in all cases, but certain sociodemographic, political and psychosocial variables are involved and may play a specific role in each considered case. It has been concluded that follow-up and additional studies are necessary to ensure a greater understanding of this relationship.
