Are There Any Psychological Motives That Motivate People to Believe in Conspiracy Theories?

I think I read that there may have been a measurable increase in conspiracy theory theorizing around the turn of the 20th century because of the Industrial Revolution and then also around the end of the Second World War. Let's talk a little bit about the psychological factors that motivate people to believe in conspiracy theories. Can you explain what they are, what those terms mean? Yes, of course. We argue that people are drawn to conspiracy theories in order to satisfy or in an attempt to satisfy three important psychological motives. So yeah, that's what we argue. It does make sense to me that there would have been particular periods in history that conspiracy theories would have been more prominent.
