EL PENSAMIENTO MÁGICO (Documental de Psicología) - ¿Es la LEY de la ATRACCIÓN una TRAMPA COGNITIVA?

Broadly speaking, magical thinking consists of a cognitive style based on the assumption of informal, preternatural, and/or unjustified assumptions whose conclusions translate into beliefs and ideas that are mostly lacking robust empirical support. This psychology documentary aims to address how belief in hidden forces and supernatural phenomena can influence processes such as decision-making, emotional interpretation, and interpersonal relationships, both for better and for worse. ⌚ Timeline: 00:00-02:02 - Introduction. 02:02-04:19 - What is magical thinking? 04:19-08:24 - Science, religion, and magic. 08:24-11:55 - (1) Logical component. 11:55-15:48 - (2) Anthropological component. 15:48-23:02 - (3) Psychological Component. 23:02-28:40 - The Law of Attraction. 28:40-30:50 - Conclusion. 🎙️ Support the channel ► paypal.me/ramtalks See you on my social media? 💣 Instagram ►   / ramtalks   📱 TikTok ► @ramtalks 💬 Twitter ►   / ramtalksyt   ♣️ Facebook ►   / ramtalksyt   🔎 Bibliography ► 1) “Magic and the Mind: Mechanisms, Functions, and Development of Magical Thinking and Behavior” - Eugene Subbotsky 2) “Pensée magique” - Tristan Fournier During childhood, children often express magical thinking through imaginative, fantastical, and dreamlike play, thanks to and with the support of adults who contribute to their education and entertainment. This is facilitated by folkloric figures like Santa Claus, children's books like “Pinocchio,” enchanting stories like “Cinderella,” animated series like “The Smurfs,” and so on. However, it's only a matter of time before children gradually become aware that many magical events they are familiar with conflict with their intuitive and empirically acquired knowledge of how the natural world works. The prominence of science in the classroom, along with increasing hands-on experience with physical objects and processes, facilitates both the dismantling of much of childhood's magical thinking and the consolidation of their belief in the universal power of material causality. As individuals progress through adolescence, the force of desires, the power of spells, and the existence of fairies, wizards, superheroes, and other fantastical beings give way to alternative forms of belief such as superstition, manifestation, karma, and science fiction. Similarly, religious education incorporates concepts like prayer, miracle, and liturgy into magical thinking. Similarly, popular films like “Harry Potter,” fictional stories like “Alice in Wonderland,” and open-world video games like “The Legend of Zelda” exert a considerable presence in popular culture.
