Study I'd like to see that won't ever get done:
Do adults who participate in "structured make - believe" things like roleplaying games, collaborative stories etc. believe in conspiracy theories more or less.
The thing I want to be true is that there is some innate need for imaginary play, and conspiracy theories are a maladaptive way to fill that need. But that's my bias speaking, it could really go either way.
@futurebird I have a hypothesis that learning about a variety of zany mythologies makes it harder to believe the one your parents are pushing is true.
