Saru 8,725 #1 Posted August 27, 2014 Now and again we are contacted by psychology students, researchers and other academics from a variety of universities looking for site visitors to take part in studies pertaining to paranormal beliefs, psychic phenomena, spirituality and other similar topics. To this end I thought I'd set up a dedicated thread where these studies and their results can be posted for those who are interested in either participating themselves or in simply learning more about the projects and their findings. 17 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CuriousRey 1,177 #2 Posted August 27, 2014 Depending on the studies i'd probably be willing to participate, now whether i'd be a good candidate is another story, thanks for the post Saru. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

helenb 2 #5 Posted August 28, 2014 Hi everyone! My name is Helen and I'm a psychology honours student at the University of Adelaide.

There are no prizes or rewards for participating, but if you are interested you can find it at: http://www.jordaaan.com/paranormal We are aiming for the research to be published and it is likely that the findings could make a meaningful contribution to the field.

White Crane Feather 5,745 #6 Posted August 29, 2014 Cool I ran through the experiment. On the psychic test I got the first one right, then I started to do very horrible. I was trying to close my eyes and discover the answer. Then I got board and just picked one. It was right. I discovered if I didn't think but just acted on impulse My score was tremendously improved. I finished the test this way. Of course it's close to random, but the first half was miserable but I saved my score by not thinking about it. 28% for me. Fun stuff.

Cookie Monster 8,430 #7 Posted August 29, 2014 Hi everyone! My name is Helen and I'm a psychology honours student at the University of Adelaide. I'm currently running a study on the psychology of paranormal belief. It takes about 20-30 minutes to complete. There are no prizes or rewards for participating, but if you are interested you can find it at: http://www.jordaaan.com/paranormal We are aiming for the research to be published and it is likely that the findings could make a meaningful contribution to the field. If you have any questions please feel free to email me using the email provided on the study preamble. Thank you so much! Can I provide some criticism? I have a very high external locus of control including the ability not to predict the future but to select the future out of the potential. A random card generator on a pc doesn't represent the potential as it isn't actually random. Therefore I can't select the future out of it because no quantum state to select it from exists. What happens if you believe there is no reality independant of the mind? That means no independant God, no independant matter, no independant energy, no intependant beings, no independant past, no independant present, no independant future, etc. The questions ask me if I have experience of or can influence things which exist independantly from me. I have power over my mind and that determines the foundations for the illusion mistaken for an external and independant reality. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I am a skeptic when it comes to the paranormal, nevertheless I am interested in the topic (hence my involvement here) and clicked the link to your survey with the intention of undertaking it. Unfortunately, the ability to start the survey appears to no longer exist on the page linked to. Can I ask if the survey has now lapsed, because there was no information given as to what date the survey would be open until? Thanks. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gabriela.cz 0 #16 Posted March 12, 2017 Hello everyone! I’m a third year student of Psychology with Criminology at University of East London currently working on a dissertation about the relationship between personality factors and paranormal belief. I would like to invite you to take part in my study. It’s an online survey that will take approximately 15 minutes. To take part in this study you need to be at least 18 years old, there is no other requirements. You may believe in paranormal phenomena (such as ghosts, ufo, psychic abilities, extrasensory perception, etc.) or you may see yourself as a sceptic, it doesn’t really matter. I am looking for both believers and non-believers. If you are interested in this study and would like to take part in it, please follow the anonymous link below for more information: https://uelpsych.eu.qualtrics.com/SE/?SID=SV_1B61YRZLxGX0vVb If you got any questions you can post them here or e-mail me at u1315781@uel.ac.uk.

highdesert50 932 #17 Posted May 11, 2017 Your idea, Saru, is a good one as it may bring some rigor to the research. Might I also suggest that any pertinent materials related to the research also be posted or made available in some manner. This would include: the intent of the research and specifically the proposed questions to be researched; research methods used to include the participants; any institutional research board (IRB) related approvals to perform the research, and how the results of the research will be made available. Because students may be performing the research this approach encourages good research design and accountability while also informing the potential audience as to the intent and limitations of the research. This approach will also help discourage trolls and other scams. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As part of a dissertation and a research project of the Helmut Schmidt University (Hamburg, Germany), we would like to ask you some questions regarding the "Motivation for Body Modification".

Some of you might know the situation, that people still think in stereotypes and try to judge. Well nonetheless because of the current state of relevant studies still think in stereotypes. Many of you might already know, body modifications have existed since 3000 BC. Starting with Ötzi, the man from the Tisenjoch. The number of piercings, tattoos and other changes to the body is steadily increasing, but what motivates people to consciously opt for a body modification? We are trying to unify this in a survey and would be very happy if you would join the study. https://ww3.unipark.de/uc/CFA/ Of course, all data protection laws were complied with. Please complete the questionnaire to the best of your knowledge and belief. Thank you so much.
