Abstracts
This study refers to the issue of conspiracy theories, very popular within the up-to-date society, seldom raised by scientists. The main purpose of the author has been, firstly, to present a research of university students’ opinions about the terrorist attacks on New York and Washington in 2001, and secondly, to apply contemporary explanations. The first section of the article contains introductory issues, especially the notion of ‘conspiracy theory’ and a scheme of conspiracy thinking. The middle part presents outcomes of the carried out research. Afterwards a theoretical explanation of modern conspiracy interpretations has been undertaken. Much attention has been paid to modern factors shaping present world-view. The final sections consist of criticism of conspiracy theories and a polemic with the popular 9/11 interpretation.
