assess if mediums could give accurate information about the deceased in a triple-blind protocol and to investigate the source of information using a quantitative and qualitative analysis.
nine mediums produced thirty-eight readings related to thirty-eight deceased individuals chosen by thirty-six sitters using a triple-blind protocol with no direct interaction with the sitters themselves. In this protocol, the medium was provided with only the deceased's name by the interviewer, the latter having no further knowledge about the deceased. In every session, the medium was asked to provide information about two deceased persons of the same gender. This information, excluding generic details, was entered into two anonymous lists. The information of these two readings was sent to the research assistant charged with maintaining contact with the sitters. Each sitter was asked to assign a value to every piece of information listed using a four- point Likert scale from 'totally wrong' to 'totally correct', and to provide a global score for each reading.
65.8% of the intended readings were correctly identified with respect to the chance of 50%. Furthermore, intended readings had on average 29.5% more correct information than the control ones. Qualitative data indicate that mediums attain information both passively and actively, that is as if they retrieved information without or directly interacting with the deceased.
this study provides further evidence that some mediums are able to obtain accurate information about deceased people knowing only the deceased's name and with no interaction with sitters; it also supports the hypothesis that, in some cases, the sources of the information are the deceased themselves.
评估媒介是否能在三重盲法协议中提供关于死者的准确信息，并使用定量和定性分析来研究信息的来源。
9 名灵媒根据 36 名测试者的选择，在三重盲法协议下，对 38 名死者进行了 38 次解读，测试者与灵媒之间没有直接互动。在该协议中，只有采访者向灵媒提供死者的姓名，而采访者本人对死者没有进一步的了解。在每次会议中，灵媒被要求提供两名同性死者的信息。这些信息（不包括通用细节）被输入到两个匿名列表中。这两条解读的信息被发送给负责与测试者保持联系的研究助理。每位测试者被要求使用四点李克特量表（从“完全错误”到“完全正确”）对列出的每条信息进行赋值，并为每次解读提供一个总体评分。
65.8%的预期解读与 50%的机会相符。此外，预期解读比对照解读平均多 29.5%的正确信息。定性数据表明，灵媒既可以被动地也可以主动地获取信息，也就是说，他们可以在不与死者或直接与死者互动的情况下检索信息。
本研究进一步证明了一些灵媒能够在仅知道死者姓名且与测试者没有互动的情况下，获取关于死者的准确信息；它还支持了这样一种假设，即在某些情况下，信息的来源是死者本人。
