Abstract
Participants completed a measure of COVID-19 related-xenophobia as part of an internet-mediated survey between April and May 2020. Those who scored higher on our xenophobia measure were more prone to believe in COVID-19-related conspiracy theories and tended to score lower on measures of agreeableness, openness, and prosocialness.
