New research led by Christian Rominger suggests that people often find connections in random events to cope with stress, driven more by positive moods than negative ones.
Rominger's study highlights that those who see meaning in coincidences often possess creative tendencies, but this can also indicate a form of 'schizotypy'.
The tendency to make sense of unfortunate events may stem from a desire to soothe oneself, prompting a search for patterns even where they don't exist.
This creative and flexible mindset can be beneficial when faced with stressful situations, helping individuals find meaning, even if it may stem from cognitive biases.
