The article Claims of paranormal experiences:
Attitudes toward psychical research and factors associated woth psi and psi-related
expereinces found in "NIMHANS Journal" provided information which would
lead me to believe that there is some validity in my hypothesis: belief in
the paranormal and a history of drug use, specifically "mind-expanding" drugs
are positively correlated. Although the article base where I found this information
does not provide the articles in full text, I was able to get a good idea
of what was concluded from the study, but not exactly how the study was carried
out. The abstract was the only section of the journal provided, so I would
not be able to replicate this study by only using the details in the abstract,
simply because there were not enough. If I could get a hard copy of this
journal article though and see exactly how the study was carried out, I think
that it would be beneficial to my research topic.
