Understanding the Morality of Unbelievers: Secular Beliefs about Right and Wrong in Ten Countries
Many people around the world believe that to be moral, one must believe in God. However, individuals who do not believe in God also hold distinct ethical beliefs. Similar to theists, non-theists in different cultures may share overarching narratives about morality and what it is founded upon—a possibility that remains understudied. In the present research, we utilised open-ended survey data to explore what non-theists from ten countries (N = 996)…
Investigating Mediumship/Possession-Relevant Experiences: Contributions from a Feature-Based, Subject-Dependent Approach to Definition and Measurement
Non-ordinary experiences such as hearing voices, losing control over one's body or mediumship/possession, are observed across cultures. However, there is a notable lack of instruments specifically designed to measure these experiences from a subject-centered, culturally sensitive perspective, with existing measures offering limited coverage ofexperiences that may be particularly salient for religious groups cultivating mediumship/possession pract…
Morality of Mentality and Culture: A Registered Replication and Cross-Cultural Extension
Previous work has established that religious groups vary in the perceived moral status of “thought” versus behavior, with Protestants negatively evaluating people who entertain immoral thoughts more harshly than Jews. This work provided early evidence that religion is important in evaluating moral status. However, in the decades since this work, methodological and theoretical advances have suggested that a second glance might be necessary. In thi…
Examining the relationship between metacognitive trust in thinking styles and supernatural beliefs
Conflicting findings have emerged from research on the relationship between thinking styles and supernatural beliefs. In two studies, we examined this relationship through meta‐cognitive trust and developed a new: (1) experimental manipulation, a short scientific article describing the benefits of thinking styles: (2) trust in thinking styles measure, the Ambiguous Decisions task; and (3) supernatural belief measure, the Belief in Psychic Ability…
Nonordinary Experiences, Well-being and Mental Health: A Systematic Review of the Evidence and Recommendations for Future Research
What do nonreligious nonbelievers believe in? Secular worldviews around the world
The global increase in nonreligious individuals begs for a better understanding of what nonreligious beliefs and worldviews actually entail. Rather than assuming an absence of belief or imposing a predetermined set of beliefs, this research uses an open-ended approach to investigate which secular beliefs and worldviews nonreligious nontheistic individuals in 10 countries around the world might endorse. Approximately, one thousand participants wer…
Social Support, Help-Seeking Behaviors, and Positive/Negative Affect Among Individuals Reporting Mediumship Experiences
Religion, Spirituality, and Health in Latin America: Interdisciplinary Perspectives
The dynamics of religious mobility: Investigating the patterns and sociodemographic characteristics of religious affiliation and disaffiliation in a Brazilian sample
Transtorno dissociativo de identidade: Aspectos diagnósticos e implicações clínicas e forenses
O transtorno dissociativo de identidade ou TDI (historicamente conhecido como “transtorno de múltiplas personalidades”) compreende uma classificação psicopatológica controversa em relação à sua validade transcultural. Ao longo da história, aquilo que chamamos de TDI adquiriu facetas muito diferentes conforme a época analisada, indo desde a possessão demoníaca até o diagnóstico de histeria e múltiplas personalidades no século XIX. No Brasil, pouco…
Experiências Anômalas e Dissociativas em Contexto Religioso: Uma Abordagem Autoetnográfica
The present study explored the phenomenological characteristics of anomalous experiences (AEs) reported during Umbanda rituals, a mediumistic Brazilian religion, with the aim of comparing AEs reported during rituals involving the use of Ayahuasca (an entheogen frequently used in some Umbanda contexts) and rituals without the use of this substance. In order to do so, we compared individuals with different levels of involvement with the mediumistic…

A survey of near-death experiences in Brazil: Exploring socio-demographic characteristics and relationship to psychopathology and mystical experiences
Nous présentons les résultats d’une enquête portant sur le pourcentage d’expériences de mort imminente dans un échantillon brésilien et leur relation avec les caractéristiques sociodémographiques, la psychopathologie et les expériences mystiques. 350 participants (80,3 % de femmes d’âge moyen = 37,43 ans, écart-type = 12,80, minimum = 18 ans, maximum = 81 ans) ont répondu à un sondage en ligne sur les conséquences psychologiques d’événements mena…
Assessing Implicit Spirituality in a non-Weird Population: Development and Validation of an Implicit Measure of New Age and Paranormal Beliefs
There is a growing interest in the study of the cognitive processes underpinning New Age and Paranormal beliefs (NAPBs). However, there is a scarcity of research on this topic using non-WEIRD (Western, Educated, Industrialized, Rich and Democratic) populations. The main purpose of this study was to develop an implicit association test (IAT) of NAPBs using a non-WEIRD sample (from a general Brazilian population). In addition, the study also explor…
Cultural and group differences in mediumship and dissociation: Exploring the Varieties of Mediumistic Experiences
Final chapter, From India to the Planet Mars: A Study of a Case of Somnambulism with Glossolalia , by Théodore Flournoy (1900)
Among the many attempts to explain mediumship psychologically at the turn of the century were the efforts of Swiss psychologist Théodore Flournoy (1854–1920). In his well-known book Des Indes à la Planète Mars (1900), translated as From India to the Planet Mars (1900), Flournoy analysed the mediumistic productions of medium Hélène Smith (1861–1929), consisting of accounts of previous lives in France and in India, and material about planet Mars. F…
Contribuições da Psicologia Evolucionista e das Neurociências para a compreensão das crenças e experiências religiosas
A pesquisa científica contemporânea sobre as crenças e experiências religiosas tem, cada vez mais, enfatizado a importância de reconhecê-las como fenômenos naturais submetidos aos mesmos mecanismos evolutivos, cognitivos e neuronais que caracterizam outras formas do comportamento humano. De uma perspectiva evolucionista, tais crenças e experiências só se tornaram possíveis graças ao desenvolvimento e à ação concatenada de várias estruturas no cér…
