This study was an attempt to confirm previously reported findings that persons who believe in and claim experience of the paranormal tend to score higher on various measures relevant to schizophrenia. Level of belief in the paranormal was measured in a sample of university students. As predicted, those subjects whose scores indicated higher belief in the paranormal tended to score significantly higher on the Magical Ideation Scale, the Perceptual Aberration Scale, and the combined Perceptual Aberration-Magical Ideation (Per-Mag) Scale. However, the correlation with the MMPI's Schizophrenia Scale was significant for males only.
本研究旨在证实先前报道的研究结果,即相信超自然现象并声称有相关经历的人在与精神分裂症相关的各项测量中得分往往更高。在一组大学生样本中测量了对超自然现象的相信程度。正如预测的那样,那些在超自然现象方面得分较高的受试者在神奇观念量表、感知偏差量表以及感知偏差 - 神奇观念综合量表(Per - Mag量表)上的得分往往显著更高。然而,与明尼苏达多相人格调查表(MMPI)的精神分裂症量表的相关性仅在男性中显著。
