  • Haunted people syndrome revisited

    Rense Lange, James Houran et al.ARTICLEMental Health Religion & Culture2020

    Research suggests a Haunted People Syndrome (HP-S) is defined by the recurrent perception of anomalous subjective and objective events. Occurrences are traditionally attributed to supernatural agencies, but we argue that such interpretations have morphed into themes of “surveillance and stalking” in group-stalking reports. We tested a series of related hypotheses by re-analyzing survey data from the 2015 Sheridan and James study to explore statis…

  • The Dr. John Hall story

    Ciarán O'Keeffe, James Houran et al.ARTICLEMental Health Religion & Culture2019

    Research suggests a “Haunted People Syndrome (HP-S)” defined by recurrent and systematic perceptions of anomalous subjective and objective anomalies. Such signs or symptoms are traditionally attributed to “spirits and the supernatural,” but these themes are hypothesised to morph to “surveillance and stalking” in reports of “group-(or gang) stalking,” We tested this premise with a quali-quantitative exercise that mapped group-stalking experiences …

  • Religion, Prejudice, and Authoritarianism

    Open AccessKenneth I Mavor, Winnifred R Louis et al.ARTICLEJournal for the Scientific Study…2011Cited by: 9References: 49

Four concerns regarding research on the relationship between RWA and religiosity are identified: (1) the overlap of religiosity and prejudice within the RWA scale; (2) the inflation of relationships by correlating part-whole measures; (3) covariation in the extremes of the construct hiding the poss…

  • Religious Fundamentalism as a Predictor of Prejudice

    Open AccessBrian Laythe, D Finkel et al.ARTICLEJournal for the Scientific Study…2002Cited by: 50

    The present study aims to determine whether the empirical relationship between religious fundamentalism and prejudice can be accounted for in terms of the mutually opposing effects of Christian orthodoxy and right-wing authoritarianism using multiple regression. Three separate samples (total n = 320) completed measures of religious fundamentalism, right-wing authoritarianism, Christian orthodoxy, ethnic prejudice, and homosexual prejudice. Consis…

  • Predicting Prejudice from Religious Fundamentalism and Right-Wing Authoritarianism

    Open AccessBrian Laythe, D Finkel et al.ARTICLEJournal for the Scientific Study…2001Cited by: 40

    In a study designed to investigate the respective roles of religious fundamentalism and right-wing authoritarianism as predictors of prejudice against racial minorities and homosexuals, participants (47 males, 91 females) responded to a series of questionnaire measures of these constructs. Data were analyzed using multiple regression. Consistent with previous research, authoritarianism was a significant and strong positive predictor of both forms…
