Ideo-Real Law

The ideal law is a psychological law; This means not only the (unwanted, automatic) participation in a movement ( Carpenter effect ), but also the contagion of feelings, the transfer of expression, ideomotor ideas and ideomotor actions as well as suggestion and hypnosis .

The idealistic law was defined by Willy Hellpach as an extension of the Carpenter effect. "Every subjective content of experience includes a drive to its objective realization." (1933, p. 48). Experimental evidence for the statement does not yet exist.
