Целью статьи является анализ онтологических аспектов магического мышления как социально-психологического феномена, а также его когнитивно-личностных предикторов в период социального взросления. Гипотеза исследования заключается в постулировании магического мышления как копинг-стратегии, коррелирующей с комплексом когнитивно-личностных предикторов. Научная новизна исследования — в системном анализе когнитивно-личностных детерминант магического мышления взрослого человека как психологической категории. В процессе исследования использовались мета-анализ, системный анализ. В статье представлены материалы, полученные в результате проведенного авторами полустандартизированного интервью с людьми, имеющими выраженное магическое мышление, а также результаты проведенного наблюдения. Эмпирически выявлены следующие когнитивно-личностные особенности людей как предикторы магического мышления: эклектичное мировоззрение; искажение причинно-следственных связей и соблюдение принципа жесткого детерминизма; повышенная тревожность, коррелирующая с высокими показателями нейротизма и фрустрации; экстернальный и интернальный локус контроля, а также сверхконтроль; аффективное воображение и склонность к эскапизму, тенденции макиавеллизма; преобладание когнитивных искажений и резонерства при средних и высоких когнитивных способностях, а также стремлении к самореализации. The aim of the article is to analyze ontological aspects of magical thinking as social and psychological phenomenon and to investigate its cognitive and personality predictors during social maturity. The hypothesis of the research consists in the fact magical thinking is treated as a coping strategy which correlates with a complex of cognitive and personality predictors. The scientific novelty of the research consists in systemic analysis of cognitive and personality determinants of magical thinking of a mature person as a psychological category. The research uses meta analysis and systemic analysis. The article presents data collected via semi-structured interviews with people who have profound magical thinking and data collected via observation. Empirical research identifies the following cognitive and personality predictors of magical thinking: eclectic worldview; distortion of causal relationships and preservation of rigid determinism; high anxiety correlating with high neuroticism and frustration; external and internal locus of control, overcontrol; affective imagination and escapism, machiavellianism tendencies; cognitive distortion and reasoning with average and high cognitive abilities, self-realization.

Abstract Scientific findings have indicated that psychological and social factors are the driving forces behind most chronic benign pain presentations, especially in a claim context, and are relevant to at least three of the AMA Guides publications: AMA Guides to Evaluation of Disease and Injury Causation, AMA Guides to Work Ability and Return to Work, and AMA Guides to the Evaluation of Permanent Impairment. The author reviews and summarizes studies that have identified the dominant role of financial, psychological, and other non–general medicine factors in patients who report low back pain. For example, one meta-analysis found that compensation results in an increase in pain perception and a reduction in the ability to benefit from medical and psychological treatment. Other studies have found a correlation between the level of compensation and health outcomes (greater compensation is associated with worse outcomes), and legal systems that discourage compensation for pain produce better health outcomes. One study found that, among persons with carpal tunnel syndrome, claimants had worse outcomes than nonclaimants despite receiving more treatment; another examined the problematic relationship between complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) and compensation and found that cases of CRPS are dominated by legal claims, a disparity that highlights the dominant role of compensation. Workers’ compensation claimants are almost never evaluated for personality disorders or mental illness. The article concludes with recommendations that evaluators can consider in individual cases.
