    Abstract

    A survey of 116 Australian residents was undertaken to examine the relationship between the report of parapsychological experiences and each of two styles of thinking, the intuitive-experiential mode and the rational mode. In contrast with previous studies of parapsychological experiences, cognizance was taken of a distinction between a proneness to anomalous experiences and a proneness to attribute such experiences to paranormal factors. Intuitive-experiential thinking, but not rational thinking, was identified as a correlate of these two facets of parapsychological experience.
