本文探讨了非理性思维的个体后果，包括超常规思维和非科学思维。这些思维模式是通过2008年调查的因素分析确定的。收入和幸福感被用作衡量绩效的指标。实证结果表明，非科学思维会降低收入，而超常思维则不会影响收入;非科学思维会降低幸福感，而超常思维则会提高幸福感。扩展模型，我们发现，更高的能力和自我控制会导致更高的收入和幸福感。自私增加收入，但减少幸福。这些结果表明，经济人通常会获得更高的个人表现，除了对超正常现象的信念会提高幸福感。
This paper investigates the individual outcomes of irrational thinking, including paranormality and non-scientific thinking. These modes of thinking are identified by factor analysis from a 2008 survey. Income and happiness are used as measures of performance. Empirical results reveal that non-scientific thinking lowers income, whereas paranormality does not affect it. While non-scientific thinking lowers happiness, paranormality raises it. Extending the model, we find that higher ability and self-control result in higher income and happiness. Selfishness raises income, but diminishes happiness. These results suggest that Homo economicus generally achieves higher individual performance, except that belief in paranormality raises happiness.
