This study aimed to identify rates of magical thinking of students of different educational levels. The research was conducted witht a descriptive, correlational and cross-sectional design. The sample was composed for 513 students, 87 of middle school, 212 of high school and 214 of higher education. The instrument used was the scale of Magical Thinking in the version of 24 items with two related factors, which has adequate validity and reliability parameters. Overall, the results indicate that the level of magical thinking of the participants can be interpreted as neutrality that does not correspond to features marked as magical thinking or rationality; also, significant differences between educational levels and gender of students were found. It is suggested to undertake studies to identify the origin of these results.
