Previous research has confirmed the prominent role of group processes in the promotion and
endorsement of disinformation. We report three studies on a psychological framework derived from
integrated threat theory—a psychological theory which describes how perceived threat leads to group
polarization and prejudice—composed of the following constructs: group belongingness, perceived
threat, outgroup derogation, and intergroup anxiety. Our pilot study suggested that need to belong
and intergroup anxiety predict antiscientific beliefs (pseudoscientific, paranormal, and conspiracy
theories), thus justifying the general applicability of integrated threat theory. Study 1 investigates the
transition from weak to strong critical thinking regarding pseudoscientific doctrines. Besides greater
outgroup derogation and perceived threats among strong critical thinkers, the model does not perform
well in this context. Study 2 focuses on the intergroup conflict around anthropogenic global warming,
revealing the strong predictive power of the model. These results are discussed in relation to the
distinctive psychological profiles of science acceptance and rejection. [-]
