Cynicism, low self-worth, uncertainty, powerlessness correlate with conspiracy belief.

Explanation:

The best predictor of belief in a conspiracy theory is belief in other conspiracy theories,” says  a psychology professor who studies conspiracy belief at the University of Westminster in England. Psychologists say that’s because a conspiracy theory isn’t so much a response to a single event.

Many believe in conspiracy theories because the humans have evolved to be suspicious and skeptic. Big events always attract conspiracy. Anxiety makes people to accept the conspiracy. many conspiracies are scary and attract attention. An important trait among conspiracy theorists is paranoia. They believe the threats they face are personally invasive than is reasonable.

nalin [4]

Answer:

The correct answer would be option A, Confidentiality of the individual subject's responses.

Explanation:

When a researcher invites a therapist to participate in a small focus group to discuss the perception about the troubled adolescent girls and the relationships they have with their parents. People usually don't discuss their such private problems in public and don't want to disclose their identity when discussing such problems on forums like focus groups where some therapist is present to listen to their problems. So confidentiality is a crucial concern in this. Instead of watching for the breach of confidentiality from the focus group participants, the researcher must focus on maintaining the confidentiality of the group members.
