Abstract: One of the most common (and very recognizable) ways of understanding and explaining social, political, and economic processes is called conspiracy theory. Supporters of such theories explain the most diverse events with evil will and purposeful efforts of groups of people, organizations, less often of states: real socio-economic and political processes turn out to be preconceived and implemented according to a special plan in the interests of a narrow group of individuals. With all the enormous diversity of specific content at the basis of conspiracy theories lies a well-defined, conspiracy, form of thinking or "picture of the world." The article is devoted to the analysis of the psychological origins of this phenomenon, as well as the already established and possible ways to use it (in the practice of making political and socio-economic decisions, in cinema, in the field of propaganda, training of managers, etc.).
