Abstract
Two self-report correlational studies were conducted to examine potential predictors of QAnon beliefs. Strength of QAnon belief was positively correlated with conscientiousness, loneliness, internet addiction, proneness to boredom, right-wing authoritarianism, and scepticism regarding the COVID-19 vaccine. Strength of QAnon belief was also negatively correlated with agreeableness and emotional stability.
