Resumen
En el presente trabajo se realiza una breve revisión de las investigaciones actuales en torno a la ilusión de control y las supersticiones y creencias paranormales con el objetivo de mostrar de manera ilustrativa los resultados más relevantes. Siendo la ilusión de control un sesgo del aprendizaje causal que es definido como la creencia de que un comportamiento es la causa de un evento del cual es independiente y las creencias paranormales como errores dados por la limitación de nuestra capacidad de razonamiento causal, se intenta encontrar una relación entre ambos fenómenos. Dicha relación es ampliamente documentada en distintas investigaciones, habiendo incluso maneras de reducir ambos cuando la información se presenta de manera adecuada.
This paper briefly reviews current research on the illusion of control and superstitions and paranormal beliefs, aiming to illustratively present the most relevant results. The illusion of control is a causal learning bias defined as the belief that a behavior is the cause of an event from which it is independent, and paranormal beliefs are errors resulting from the limitation of our causal reasoning capacity. The aim is to find a relationship between the two phenomena. This relationship is widely documented in various studies, and there are even ways to reduce both when the information is presented appropriately.
