Demirci stated that the levels of magical thinking (such as affecting objects with thought or action, believing that it can rain with thought power, realization of what is seen in dreams) are found higher in women compared to men, in the study: “While making decisions, it is seen that men take more risks and women try to reach results by using more intuition. It seems that people who say that their intuition is strong have entered more into an imaginary world and believed more in magical thoughts. Therefore, those who feel strong intuition are more likely to break with reality and move away from cognitive thinking (logically conscious thinking).”

Noting that children tend to enter the imagination world more because of the difficulties they experience or feel in the real World, Demirci said, “Children can use it as a form of defense. Some children may even make imaginary friends or believe that they can control many things with thought.”
 
Psychiatrist from Istanbul Gelisim University Dr. Onur Okan Demirci, who mentioned that the magical thoughts of women are more than men, continued as follows:
 
“Feeling socially under pressure, restrictions in gender roles, more exposure of women to traumatic life events, having more difficulty in realizing desires than men, increasing their stress levels and lifelong stress levels in women and increasing their tendency towards their dream worlds it may have caused. As stress levels increase, they will tend to break with reality, and this can pose a serious vital and psychological problem.”
