Answer:The researchers found that reasons for believing in conspiracy theories can be grouped into three categories:

The desire for understanding and certainty,The desire for control and security,The desire to maintain a positive self-image.Even tho they may be wrong you have to give them more info if they are having a hard time to agree.

Explanation:Hope this helps
