Here's why Friday the 13th scares us
Jane Risen, a behavioral scientist at the University
of Chicago Booth School of Business, has found that
superstitions can influence even nonbelievers. In one 2016
study, Risen found that people who identify as superstitious
and non-superstitious both believe a bad outcome is more
likely when they've been jinxed. For example, they worry
that stating they definitely won't get into a car accident will
make it more likely to happen.
“Generally speaking, I find that this occurs because
the bad outcome springs to mind and is imagined more
clearly following the jinx,” she explains. “People use the ease
of imagining something as a cue to its likelihood.”
_____________, Risen's research also suggests that
performing rituals that ward off bad luck can have surprising
results. In a 2014 study, she found that some people use
them even when they don't actively believe, and when
tested, both types of people reported benefits from such
acts.
It's difficult to pin down the origins and evolution of
a superstition. But Stuart Vyse, an author and former
_____________ of psychology at Connecticut College in New
London, told National Geographic in 2014 that our fear of
Friday the 13th may be rooted in religious beliefs
surrounding the 13th guest at the Last Supper—Judas, the
apostle said to have betrayed Jesus—and the
______________ of Jesus on a Friday, which was known as
hangman's day. The combination of those factors produced
a "sort of double whammy of 13 falling on an already
nervous day," Vyse explained.
