Abstract

Investigated whether transliminality, defined as susceptibility to, and awareness of, large volumes of imagery, ideation, and affect (these phenomena generated by subliminal, supraliminal and/or external input), its constituent variables, and certain of its correlates and associated variables might differ in relation to the kind of afterlife believed in. 301 college students completed various personality and beliefs questionnaires. Results show that on transliminality itself, using a 29-item transliminality scale, reincarnationists and eclectics (believers in both immortality and reincarnation) were found to score highest, with the lowest scores being obtained by extinctionists.
