Despite the urgent relevance of the topic all around the world today, the number of studies on conspiracy theories about migrants and immigration is limited. Helping to fill this important gap in the academic literature, the research analyses conspiracy theory beliefs about migrants and immigration in contemporary Serbia through survey data from a nationally representative sample (N=1199). Expanding on the Weberian theory of rationality, the study proposes that people’s values about national sovereignty, social conservatism, and religiosity influence their predispositions to believe in conspiracy theories about migrants and immigration. The findings corroborate the argument by showing a statistically significant link between people’s political, social, and religious values and responses to conspiracy theories. The article concludes that values could play a significant role in people’s adoption of conspiracy theories.The author(s) disclosed receipt of the following financial support for the research, authorship, and/ or publication of this article: This publication is based on work from COST Action ‘Connecting Theory and Practical Issues of Migration and Religious Diversity’ (COREnet) CA20107 supported by COST (European Cooperation in Science and Technology).
