即使在纯粹偶然的情况下,控制幻觉也很常见。它们特别可能发生在以个人参与、熟悉、对期望结果的预见和对成功的关注为特征的环境中。影响控制错觉的基于个人的因素包括抑郁情绪和控制需求。对控制错觉的一种解释是,它是由于控制启发式,通过评估意图性因素和与结果的联系来估计控制。动机的影响,虚幻的控制和后果高估自己的控制也包括在内。
Illusions of control are common even in purely chance situations. They are particularly likely to occur in settings that are characterized by personal involvement, familiarity, foreknowledge of the desired outcome, and a focus on success. Person-based factors that affect illusions of control include depressive mood and need for control. One explanation of illusory control is that it is due to a control heuristic that is used to estimate control by assessing the factors of intentionality and connection to the outcome. Motivational influences on illusory control and consequences of overestimating one's control are also covered.
