Magical thinking is a type of attribution and a way to explain event causes. For example, Freud believed that children’s magical thinking was produced by cognitive developmental factors. Link the outside world with their internal consciousness, e.g. “It is raining because I am sad.” While Langer believed it to be an Illusion of control, where individuals overestimate their ability to control events (gambling). Lastly, Pronin and colleagues mentioned that magical thinking leads people to believe in their own assumptions rather than scientific research. This may include in popular culture practices, group prayer, media, etc.
Magic or not? What do YOU think? Do you engage in magical attributions? What are they? Was that a learned practice (from culture, parents, etc.?)
