O ovoj e-knjizi

""Superstitions Unveiled"" delves into the widespread phenomenon of superstitions, those seemingly irrational beliefs that influence human behavior and decision-making. It explores why people, even in a scientifically advanced world, cling to practices like knocking on wood or avoiding black cats. The book uniquely examines superstitions from both psychological and sociocultural perspectives, revealing how they serve important functions, such as reducing anxiety and fostering social cohesion. Interestingly, superstitions can exert a profound influence on risk assessment and overall worldview, despite lacking empirical support, revealing the power of irrational beliefs.

The book progresses by first defining superstition and differentiating it from related concepts. It then investigates the psychological roots, such as cognitive biases and emotional motivations, before analyzing the social dimensions, including the role of superstitions in shaping group identity. Case studies from various cultures illustrate these points.

The book also presents evidence from experimental studies, ethnographic research, and statistical analyses, offering a comprehensive understanding of these cultural beliefs. By drawing on historical analyses, folklore, and research from cognitive psychology, ""Superstitions Unveiled"" illustrates that superstitions are not merely irrational quirks but complex phenomena with deep psychological and social significance. This approach provides a holistic perspective, making the book valuable to anyone interested in understanding the quirks of human behavior and the underlying mechanisms of cultural practices.
