Thirty-one children were administered a structured interview that assessed their beliefs about magic, tricks and wishes. Children were also presented with demonstrations of magic tricks/illusions, and asked to offer explanations as to how they worked. Parents completed the Childhood Routines Inventory (CRI), a 19-item parent report measure that assesses children's rituals, habits and sensory-perceptual experiences that we have termed "compulsive-like" behavior. Results indicated that children's rituals and compulsions were positively related to their magical beliefs, and inversely related to their uses of concrete, physical explanations to describe various phenomena. In particular, children's beliefs about the effects of wishing were most consistently correlated with their compulsive-like rituals and routines. The findings extended the work on magical beliefs and obsessive-compulsive phenomena to the normative manifestation of compulsive behaviors found in typical development.
对31名儿童进行了一次结构化访谈，评估他们对魔法、魔术和愿望的看法。还向孩子们展示了魔术/幻象的演示，并要求他们解释其原理。家长们完成了儿童日常习惯量表（CRI），这是一项由家长报告的包含19个条目的量表，用于评估儿童的仪式、习惯以及我们称之为“强迫样”行为的感官感知体验。结果表明，儿童的仪式和强迫行为与他们的魔法信仰呈正相关，与他们用具体的、物理的解释来描述各种现象的方式呈负相关。特别是，儿童对愿望效果的信念与他们的强迫样仪式和日常习惯最一致相关。这些发现将关于魔法信仰和强迫现象的研究扩展到了典型发育中强迫行为的规范表现。
