Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Illusory correlation is the perception of a relationship between two variables where no real relationship exists. This often occurs when two distinct events stand out and are seen as related, even though there is no statistical evidence that they are. Projective, thematic, and aperceptive are not relevant terms in this context.
