Abstract

Suggestions are based on the author\'s 43 years of experience in parapsychology, graduate studies in sociology, and what she has learned from studying the broad class of exceptional human experience. The suggestions are presented under 11 headings: Beginner\'s Log; Deciding What to Investigate; A Note on Methodology; The Participants; Concomitants of Experiments/Experiences; A Sense of Process; Interpersonal Dynamics; Participant Logs; The Investigator Log Again; The Report of the Investigation; and Possible By-Products of Maintaining a Log. The majority of the suggestions are in line with a more qualitative approach to supplement parapsychological investigations. Some key handbooks of qualitative methodology are cited.
