Scientific interest in the relationship between analytical thinking and paranormal beliefs has increased in recent times. However, due to cultural differences, research in this area has been limited to the consideration of paranormal and religious beliefs. Moreover, few studies have explored the relationship between different types of superstitions and analytical thinking. We hypothesized that analytical thinking promotes distrust of Internet superstition which is a kind of superstition conveyed via the internet and a new form of superstition and that individual differences in the tendency to analytically override initially flawed intuitions are associated with decreased Internet superstition. Participants were classified into an Internet superstition group and a control group. We examined the associations between Internet superstition, traditional superstition, neuroticism, and analytical thinking. We found that analytical thinking negatively predicted both Internet and traditional superstition. Participants who were more willing to engage in analytical thinking were less likely to endorse Internet superstition. Further, Internet superstition has negative relationship with neuroticism.

近年来，人们对分析思维和超自然信念之间关系的科学兴趣有所增加。然而，由于文化差异，这方面的研究仅限于考虑超自然现象和宗教信仰。此外，很少有研究探讨不同类型的迷信与分析思维之间的关系。我们假设分析思维促进了对互联网迷信的不信任，互联网迷信是一种通过互联网传播的迷信和一种新的迷信形式，并且分析性地推翻最初有缺陷的直觉的倾向的个体差异与互联网迷信的减少有关。参与者被分为互联网迷信组和控制组。我们研究了互联网迷信之间的关联，传统的迷信、神经质和分析性思维。我们发现分析思维对互联网和传统迷信都有负面影响。更愿意进行分析思考的参与者不太可能认可互联网迷信。此外，网络迷信与神经质呈负相关。
