Transliminality: Its Relation to Dream Life, Religiosity, and Mystical Experience
Focuses on the relation of transliminality to dreams, religiosity and mystical experience. Definition of transliminality as an awareness of inwardly generated psychological phenomena; Relationship between dream recall ability and paranormal belief; Evidence of dream recall ability in highly transliminal persons
An attempt to construct short scales measuring manic—depressive‐like experience and behaviour
Two nine‐item self‐rating questionnaire scales were developed to measure, on the one hand, features typically associated with a history of mania‐like phenomena, and, on the other hand, features typically associated with a history of clinical depression. These scales were added to produce an 18‐item scale which, it was hypothesized, might measure degree of history of manic‐depressive‐like phenomena. Results tended to support this view: (1) compare…
Self-selection of self-help reading: Readers and reasons
Informal observations indicate that people are extremely interested in “self-help” literature, but the question of whether self-prescribed, and informal, therapeutic reading is beneficial for general readers remains largely unresearched. Further, there is no information available about readers' characteristics. Two studies were undertaken. In the first, it was found, among a group self-selected for their interest in self-help books, that the beha…
Questionnaire Study of the Teeth on Edge Phenomenon
This study followed up a previous one which showed that subjects interpret the phrase “having the teeth set on edge” either as a sensation-based or as an emotion-based experience. The present study showed that most (372 students) have had both kinds of experience, can distinguish between them, and can recognize and comprehend the phrase “having the teeth set on edge.” However, the most striking finding was that, despite this general comprehension…
On Having the Teeth Set on Edge: Preliminary Inquiry
385 undergraduates filled out a questionnaire about the experience of “having the teeth set on edge.” Analysis indicated a clear split between Ss interpreting the phrase as applying to sensation-based as opposed to emotion-based experiences, about two-thirds of Ss falling into the former category and about one third into the latter. This finding may have implications about the process of learning terms to describe one's psychological state and al…
Differential accuracy in the status-height phenomenon and an experimenter effect
An Experiment Examining List-Learning with and without the Mnemonic use of Bizarre Associations
Non-universal Laws of Socialization
Transliminality: Its Relation to Dream Life, Religiosity, and Mystical Experience
