Thalbourne, M. A. (1994). The SPR centenary census: II. The survey of beliefs and experiences. Journal of the Society for Psychical Research, 59, (pp. 420-431).
Abstract
As part of the activities to celebrate the Centenary of the founding of the SPR a questionnaire was mailed in 1982 to all those persons who were members at that time. Some 402 persons-about half the membership-returned usable data. The questionnaire contained an ESP test (the results of which were reported in Part 1) and 51 questions pertaining to belief in and experience of phenomena ranging from the paranormal to religion to dream-life. This paper details the responses to those questions, and confirms previously discovered relationships both between belief in various aspects of the paranormal and between it and aspects of religion and dream-life.
