English term or phrase: contingency task
"Kay et al. (2008) found that when perceived personal control was experimentally decreased, participants were more likely to support (a) the legitimacy of their sociopolitical system and (b) the existence of a controlling God. Conversely, when the
government was depicted as ineffective, participants perceived more illusory personal control in a contingency task. Other research demonstrates that threats to personal control cause people to see patterns in random external stimuli and attribute conspiratorial underpinnings to world events."
