Abstract: One's general acceptance of weak claims appears to drive one's belief in bullshit (Pennycook and Rand 2020). Therefore, we posit greater self-esteem and/or lower self-monitoring, should lead to greater likelihood of bullshit receptivity due to one's decreased need to look to others for validation.
