Produktbeschreibung

Silly Superstitions explores the fascinating world of superstitions, examining their cultural roots and psychological influences on human behavior.
Bridging social science and psychology, the book investigates why these irrational beliefs persist even in modern societies.
It reveals how superstitions, such as avoiding the number 13, offer psychological comfort in times of uncertainty and create a sense of control over unpredictable events.

The text delves into the historical context of superstitions, tracing their origins across different cultures and time periods.
It also explores the psychological factors behind superstitious adherence, including the need for control and confirmation bias.

The book progresses systematically, starting with definitions and historical origins, followed by psychological underpinnings and social impacts.
It uses diverse evidence, from historical accounts to psychological experiments, to provide a comprehensive understanding of these pervasive cultural beliefs.
