Research on conspiracy beliefs has continued to flourish in the twenty-first century. According to Aaronovitch (2009), conspiracy beliefs arise when individuals seek explanations for events or specific events, even if other explanations are more plausible, by unnecessarily attributing them to hidden conspiracies by individuals or groups. Brotherton et al(2013) further developed the Generic Conspiracist Beliefs Scale (GCB), which includes five dimensions: Government Malfeasance Conspiracies, Extraterrestrial Cover-up Conspiracies, Control of Information Conspiracies, Personal Well-being Conspiracies, and Malevolent Global Conspiracies. This scale has been widely adopted in research both domestically and internationally. In Taiwan, the media frequently uses conspiracy theories to interpret controversial events, resulting in adverse effects on politics and society. Thus, there is a pressing need for a universally accepted definition and an effective measurement tool for conspiracy beliefs. Given the detrimental effects of conspiracy theories on democratic participation and social sustainability, this study is crucial in its aim to develop and validate a reliable and valid Chinese Conspiracy Belief Scale, drawing on the scale developed by Brotherton et al. (2013). This study employed a survey research method. In the first phase, two rounds of exploratory factor analysis (N = 107) were conducted, and in the second phase (N = 844), confirmatory factor analysis was used to establish the convergent validity of the scale. Additionally, the Conspiracy Mentality Questionnaire (CMQ), anomia, belief in the paranormal, authoritarianism, and the Big Five personality traits of openness, agreeableness, and neuroticism were included to examine discriminant validity. The results indicated that the second-order single-factor measurement model of the Chinese version of the Conspiracy Belief Scale exhibited a good fit and demonstrated reliability and validity.參考文獻 李仁豪、鍾芯瑜（2020）。中文版簡式 [五大人格量表] BFI 的發展。測驗學刊, 67(4)，271-299。 莊伯仲（2006）。競選廣告:1996-2004 年台灣與美國總統大選之分析。東吳政治學報，24，213-243。東吳大學，台北市。 須予謙（2023）。新冠肺炎疫情下臺灣的族群集體自戀與陰謀論。臺灣大學正社會科學院政治學系碩士論文研究所。 鄭怡卉（2013）。新聞中的「偽科學」內容分析研究。新聞學研究，116，47-90。 杜兆倫（2018）。謠言分藍綠? 政治傾向與社群媒體謠言傳播之關聯性研究。臺灣大學新聞研究所學位論文，台北市。 胡正光、江素慧（2020）。民粹主義在台灣─ 韓國瑜及其支持者。臺灣國際研究季刊，16(3)，155-183。 Abalakina‐Paap, M., Stephan, W.

According to Aaronovitch (2009), conspiracy beliefs arise when individuals seek explanations for events or specific events, even if other explanations are more plausible, by unnecessarily attributing them to hidden conspiracies by individuals or groups. Brotherton et al(2013) further developed the Generic Conspiracist Beliefs Scale (GCB), which includes five dimensions: Government Malfeasance Conspiracies, Extraterrestrial Cover-up Conspiracies, Control of Information Conspiracies, Personal Well-being Conspiracies, and Malevolent Global Conspiracies. This scale has been widely adopted in research both domestically and internationally. In Taiwan, the media frequently uses conspiracy theories to interpret controversial events, resulting in adverse effects on politics and society. Thus, there is a pressing need for a universally accepted definition and an effective measurement tool for conspiracy beliefs. Given the detrimental effects of conspiracy theories on democratic participation and social sustainability, this study is crucial in its aim to develop and validate a reliable and valid Chinese Conspiracy Belief Scale, drawing on the scale developed by Brotherton et al. (2013). This study employed a survey research method. In the first phase, two rounds of exploratory factor analysis (N = 107) were conducted, and in the second phase (N = 844), confirmatory factor analysis was used to establish the convergent validity of the scale. Additionally, the Conspiracy Mentality Questionnaire (CMQ), anomia, belief in the paranormal, authoritarianism, and the Big Five personality traits of openness, agreeableness, and neuroticism were included to examine discriminant validity. The results indicated that the second-order single-factor measurement model of the Chinese version of the Conspiracy Belief Scale exhibited a good fit and demonstrated reliability and validity. en_US dc.description.tableofcontents 第一章 緒論 1 第一節 研究背景 1 第二節 研究目的 6 第三節 研究問題 7 第二章 文獻回顧 10 第一節 陰謀論 10 第二節 陰謀信念 19 第三節 台灣陰謀論的研究 25 第四節 中文版陰謀信念量表的效度建構 31 第三章 研究方法 37 第一節 第一階段問卷調查及探索性因素分析 37 第二節 建立及驗證陰謀信念量表 52 第三節 資料分析階段說明 61 第四章 研究結果 64 第一節 替代模型檢定與驗證性因素分析 64 第二節 建構效度 74 第三節 人口變項與陰謀信念得分比較 81 第五章 結論 93 第一節 研究發現與建議 93 第二節 研究限制與建議 100 參考文獻 103 一、 中文部分 103 二、 英文部分 103 附 錄 114 附錄一：前測｜衡量個人對重大事件的普遍信念差異之問卷 114 附錄二：中文版陰謀信念EFA轉軸後的因素負荷量 119 附錄三：正式問卷｜衡量個人對重大事件的普遍信念差異之問卷 122 附錄四：修正後二階單因子模型的參數估計結果 129 zh_TW dc.format.extent 2517867 bytes - dc.format.mimetype application/pdf - dc.source.uri (資料來源) http://thesis.lib.nccu.edu.tw/record/#G0110464022 en_US dc.subject (關鍵詞) 陰謀論 zh_TW dc.subject (關鍵詞) 陰謀信念 zh_TW dc.subject (關鍵詞) 陰謀心態 zh_TW dc.subject (關鍵詞) 建構效度 zh_TW dc.subject (關鍵詞) 量表發展 zh_TW dc.subject (關鍵詞) conspiracy theories en_US dc.subject (關鍵詞) conspiracy beliefs en_US dc.subject (關鍵詞) conspiracy mentality en_US dc.subject (關鍵詞) construct valid en_US dc.subject (關鍵詞) scale development en_US dc.title (題名) 測量陰謀信念之研究：驗證中文版陰謀信念量表 zh_TW dc.title (題名) Measuring Belief in Conspiracy Theories: Validation of a Chinese Scale en_US dc.type (資料類型) thesis en_US dc.relation.reference (參考文獻) 李仁豪、鍾芯瑜（2020）。中文版簡式 [五大人格量表] BFI 的發展。測驗學刊, 67(4)，271-299。 莊伯仲（2006）。競選廣告:1996-2004 年台灣與美國總統大選之分析。東吳政治學報，24，213-243。東吳大學，台北市。 須予謙（2023）。新冠肺炎疫情下臺灣的族群集體自戀與陰謀論。臺灣大學正社會科學院政治學系碩士論文研究所。 鄭怡卉（2013）。新聞中的「偽科學」內容分析研究。新聞學研究，116，47-90。 杜兆倫（2018）。謠言分藍綠? 政治傾向與社群媒體謠言傳播之關聯性研究。臺灣大學新聞研究所學位論文，台北市。 胡正光、江素慧（2020）。民粹主義在台灣─ 韓國瑜及其支持者。臺灣國際研究季刊，16(3)，155-183。 Abalakina‐Paap, M., Stephan, W.
