Magical thinking is an individual's tendency to believe in cause-and-effect relationships that are not based on empirical evidence, but rather on subjective or symbolic beliefs. This characteristic is often found in individuals with schizotypal tendencies, who have unique cognitive patterns in interpreting reality. This study aims to understand how magical thinking influences the decision-making process in individuals with schizotypal characteristics. The study used a qualitative approach through in-depth interviews with three respondents who exhibited magical thinking tendencies in their daily lives. The results showed that magical thinking influences how individuals assess risks, interpret events, and make choices, especially when decisions are based on intuition, symbols, or personal beliefs. These findings suggest that the decision-making process in individuals with schizotypal characteristics is influenced not only by rational considerations but also by subjective interpretations of the meaning of experiences. This research is expected to provide a deeper understanding of the relationship between magical thinking and cognitive dynamics in the decision-making process.
