Abstract

This study focuses on both fabricated and personal beliefs associated with potentially unreliable superstitious beliefs among the general population. The study aims to contribute to the understanding of complex psychological health issues, which are often overlooked in psychological health research, particularly in rural areas and underdeveloped countries. The research introduces the concept of qualitative research on superstitious beliefs and their impact on individuals’ mind-sets, emphasizing the importance of appropriate participant recruitment, data analysis protocols, organizing findings, and selecting theoretical frameworks to promote a more practical belief system. By conducting this research, we can gain a deeper understanding of psychological health issues by allowing individuals to express their fabricated and personal beliefs related to potentially unreliable superstitious beliefs. Unfortunately, psychological health research often fails to fully utilize this approach, especially in rural areas and underdeveloped countries. Thus, by highlighting the significance of qualitative research on superstitious beliefs and emphasizing the importance of following appropriate protocols for participant recruitment, data analysis, organizing findings, and selecting theoretical frameworks, this study contributes to the development of a more pragmatic belief system.
