Abstract

Some measures of religiosity, belief in an afterlife, and belief in psychic phenomena were included in eight forced-choice ESP experiments. Seven of the experiments consisted of 40 trials of clairvoyance as a computer game and 40 trials of precognition in a paper-and-pencil test for each subject; and in one experiment there were 80 trials of clairvoyance. A combined measure of religiosity correlated significantly with the ESP scores in two of the experiments and for all the experiments combined (N = 383). Belief in an afterlife also correlated signif icantly in two experiments and in all experiments combined (N = 382). Belief in psychic phenomena correlated significantly with ESP scores in two experiments but in opposite directions from each other, and was insignificantly corrrelated in all the experiments combined (N = 448).
