The vectorial hemisphericity concept predicts that endorsements of beliefs in paranormal phenomena are associated with elevated subcortical (complex partial epileptic-like signs) temporal lobe experiences while endorsements of religious beliefs are associated with experiences of the right (cortical) hemispheric equivalent (the sensed presence) of the linguistic sense of self. Partial correlation analyses, which removed the expected shared variance, supported this hypothesis for 400 men and 400 women; religious affiliation did not contribute any statistically significant influence. However, agreements with extreme religious beliefs, such as killing others in God's name, were associated with weekly church attendance and were primarily endorsed by men but not by women.
向量半球性概念预测，对超自然现象信念的认同与皮质下（复杂部分性癫痫样体征）颞叶体验增强有关，而对宗教信仰的认同则与语言自我感的右（皮质）半球等效体验（感知在场）有关。偏相关分析去除了预期的共同方差，对400名男性和400名女性的研究支持了这一假设；宗教归属没有产生任何统计学上的显著影响。然而，与极端宗教信仰（如以上帝之名杀人）的认同与每周去教堂做礼拜有关，主要是男性而非女性认同此类信仰。
