Yet coming up with good research questions is something that novice researchers often find difficult and stressful. One reason is that this is a creative process that can appear mysterious—even magical—with experienced researchers seeming to pull interesting research questions out of thin air. However, psychological research on creativity has shown that it is neither as mysterious nor as magical as it appears.

Illusory correlations can stem from confirmation bias, where people seek evidence supporting their beliefs while ignoring contrary evidence. These false correlations can contribute to the formation of prejudicial attitudes.
